We plan to shut down the Content Blocks editor on all UMaine and UMaine Machias websites by June 30, 2025.

Content Blocks are the page building solution UMaine adopted with the 2015 website redesign. It allowed for more complex page layouts that were mobile-friendly.

Over the last decade, this software has fallen out of date and must be removed as there are better editing options now available for UMaine and UMaine Machias websites.

Content Block reports

The helpful team with UMS IT’s Web Technologies group has generated reports to support the Content Blocks removal project. These reports detail all pages on sites that use Content Blocks, when they were last modified, and their publish status. These links will be refreshed periodically to help us all monitor progress:

We encourage all our website administrators to review the appropriate report— search the page using ctrl/cmd+F to find your website’s name, and expand the helpful list of pages using Content Blocks. Please delete any page that is no longer needed.
