Or, How Do I Search This Blog?

Last week we had an uptick in new subscribers (Hey, new readers!) so I wanted to take a moment and show you the different ways that you can search for information within the BMB Buzz.

Every blog post I write is categorized and tagged profusely.

For instance, this blog post is under the categories: General, Business, and Welcome

It is tagged with: search, find, help, tool, new subscriber, and index

So, when you are getting ready to fill out your pcard support form and you remember reading something about using a new form, but you can’t remember which one it is or where to find it, but you remember reading about it here and now you’re back at the home page wondering how to find that post, what do you do?

Easy!

There are a couple of ways to find the post you are looking for.

Up at the top of the page and in the right sidebar are the categories. Click the one that your subject falls under (Pcards = Finance) and all the posts in that category will be pulled up.

Or you can use the search function. The little magnifying glass in the header or the search bar in the sidebar. As I said I tag these posts profusely, so if you search for pcard, all the posts tagged with pcard will pop up. And hey look, there’s the post about switching over to the portrait version of the pcard support form.

Hopefully, this will make it easy for you to find the information you need here.

 

Welcome to the BMB Buzz

Hi there fellow BMB’ers!

Welcome to the BMB Buzz, a new blog which will highlight news you need to know from the main office! Our goal is to get helpful information out to the department quickly and easily. All of us are busy, so these posts will be one to two-minute reads. We hope to make your job and the BMB staff’s jobs easier with the many tips, news, and information we will be sharing with you.

We will be covering topics that deal with Penn State policies, travel, new improvements to purchasing, pcard rules, and many other items that pop up during the year. Often this kind of information is long-winded, dry, and hard to find in the Penn State Policies. We want to present quick, digestible bits of information to facilitate the interactions you have with the main office. Each topic will be tagged and categorized to make searching for specific information easier, and policy information will include a link back to the full policy.

New blog posts will be on Wednesdays. If you have a suggestion for a topic to be covered, please fill out the Contact form in the upper right-hand corner with your idea. Please subscribe using the tab at the bottom of the page for your weekly Wednesday info update!

We look forward to learning and sharing with you!
