    Hi Fellow WSAE-ers! 

    Hello all.  As many of you know, as of April 21, 2015 Google is going to include "mobile-friendliness" in their page ranking logic. Of course this is only important to you if you want your website and its various pages to be found by Google search engines. ;-) 

    A few resources you may find helpful are:
    1. Google mobile friendliness checker tool
    2. Associations Now article
    3. Google, mobile and Higher Logic
    4. Google Blog on the topic

    This is just the latest example of the larger internet providing incentive to meet mobile standards.  As is the case here, you can expect these incentives to be all stick and no carrot going forward. 

    Higher Logic Clients: Just an FYI that if you have not converted over to our mobile friendly design for your community, website or both, you can do so by "creating a case" on HUG with the subject line "Bootstrap transition please".

    Feel free to buzz me with any questions. 
    Paul
