Article: #diwd Peace, Love and Content Strategy

If you’ve never had the pleasure of hearing Kristina Halvorson speak, you’re really missing out. Of course I’m inclined to like her. The fact that she’s a champion of thinking about your content before building its home might have something to do with it.

Anyone who goes anywhere near what eventually becomes content on the web should read this writeup of her talk on content strategy (and her book too I’m sure!)

Article: #diwd Drupal Rocks It In The Isles

I’m also tweeting the conference for CMSWire.

See you at "Do It With Drupal"?

I’m attending Do It With Drupal 2009 in New Orleans from December 9 through 11, to cover it for CMSWire. If you’re attending I hope to see you there! I’ll try not to be too heavily assimilated. :)
