Tending Your CMS Garden


Jim Howard at CMS Watch has written the article I wished I had all about operating a content management system once it has been implemented. Here here! (CMS Watch is a great resource for this kind of stuff. That’s why it’s over in the ‘roll.)

Not all too often, (actually almost always,) a CMS is installed and, well, that’s it. Done!

A content management system is not “implement and forget”. Its not an install of Microsoft Word. It’s not a toaster that you plug in, push the lever and magically breakfast appears

Implementing a content managment system is more akin to a wood chisel than a screwdriver. You sharpen a chisel when its gets dull so you can work more efficiently. (A screwdriver generally just keeps putting in screws.)

A CMS takes care and feeding and nurturing and adjusments to keep it running smoothly and delivering business value.
