Content Management – A blessing and a curse or how I became overhead…
As I sit here in Bora Bora, I can finally take a breath. It’s 6 pm. I have been trying since 5 pm to tear myself away from my cube so that I could take a few minutes to clarify my thoughts regarding our Content Management System. Lest you think I am sitting on a [...]

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 ;-)
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.
