Marklogic has announced the release of a toolkit for Word. Much is written in certain circles these days about component content management. I have often felt that the adoption of CCM has not lived up to the nirvana of reuse that we content management professionals strive to achieve. This gap has been due in no small... Continue Reading →
Content as a Capital Asset
I just read a nice post on Web Content Migration where the author compares most web migration projects to pouring sour milk into a new jug. This piqued my interest mainly because I had just ruined and otherwise perfectly good cup of coffee with a shot of half and half turned medical experiment. Gerry laments... Continue Reading →
Content and Crisis
My son was trying to decide what to be for Halloween this year. I told him if you really want to scare people - go as the number 9955.
