Calling ALL Content Architects

I always start with an analysis of the content and where/how it will be used. I also assess the need for the content model; what issues am I trying to resolve.

O (Oprah's magazine) is definitely the one with the excellent front-page navigation map.

Also, I plan to bring that piece of honeycomb jewelry that I designed so that I can show it to you.
Have fun!

Thanks for the note! I'm no stranger to online networks but, until The Content Wrangler Community came along, I'd left social networking sites to my kids. Yours is the very first "wall" comment I've ever received :-) Finding this community was such a relief. I've spent the last two years working on a software manual project that has been mind-bending in its weirdness and I need to decompress in the worst way. I'm especially pleased to see your note because your book is next-up on my reading list. (Though at this point, I'd be more inclined to clobber someone with it, instead ;-)

I'm glad to see you joined us and hope you find this community a great place to locate and share information among peers. As the network grows, so too will the services offered. So, keep an eye out for new ways to interact with each other. And, if you need help, just ask. We'll do our best to assist.

P.S. Please consider adding a photograph of yourself (or an icon people can use to recognize you). Research shows social network participation increases between individuals who have photos in their profiles.
