Nica Lorbor, from Chapter Three, has a great post on their highly optimized Drupal design process. In the article, Nica shows how they start from a Drupal template that has roughly 25 common named elements (some native Drupal, some not) that can be styled according client specifications. A specialized Fireworks template calls out [...]

CMS Architecture: Managing Presentation Templates
Published to Content Here by Seth Gottlieb January 25, 2010 03:38
Another geeky post…
In my last post, I described the relative merits of managing configuration in a repository vs. in the file system but excluded presentation templates even though how they are managed is just as interesting. Like configuration, presentation templates can be managed in the file system or in the content repository. Like [...]

CMS Architecture: Managing Content Type Configurations
Published to Content Here by Seth Gottlieb January 19, 2010 14:11
Warning: this post is highly technical. Non-programmers, please avert your eyes.
Deane Barker (from Blend Interactive) and I have a running conversation about CMS architectures. One of the recurring topics is how content models and other configuration is managed. There are two high-level approaches: inside the repository and outside the repository. Both [...]

Normally I don’t worry too much about search engine optimization when I write blog posts. My writing is as much for organizing my own thoughts as it is to drive site traffic. My philosophy on search engine optimization is to produce good content and avoid hindering search [...]

One of my favorite podcasts, Planet Money, recently did a segment on bias in journalism. Apparently, back in the 1870’s, most newspapers were blatantly affiliated with a political party. In fact, their bias was openly stated in their mission statement and it was part of the newspaper industry business model. In return [...]

I have finally gotten around to reading Clay Shirky’s excellent book Here Comes Everybody. I love Clay’s writing style and the way his perspectives make me think. One of the points that really resonated with me was about open source. But before I get into it, I should say that when Clay [...]

WCM needs a new name. Or, perhaps, an old one.

This post was originally written as a comment on Jon Mark’s excellent post Visions of Jon: WCM is for Losers but it got out of hand and I suspect that it is too long for a comment so I am re publishing it here.
Thanks for the great post Jon! I have to [...]

Are content managers ready for personalization?
Published to Content Here by Seth Gottlieb December 17, 2009 06:50
I have been catching up on product demos recently and have seen some really elegant functionality for marketers. Several products have introduced modules that allow CMS users to plan, implement, and measure multivariate testing, search engine optimization, and personalization without the continued support of a developer. A developer has to put the [...]

The Content Here Map of the Information Market
Published to Content Here by Seth Gottlieb December 07, 2009 07:50
I generally dislike the “map of the market” approach to describing a software market because the actual use of software is too specific to be generalized into abstract dimensions like “high and low end” or “innovative.” However, during a recent Content Here leadership offsite (OK, I went on a bike ride), I was thinking [...]
