Gala Banquet at Summit 2007
After the last batch of sessions this afternoon, we broke up for about two hours to wait for the gala event. Apparently, this is the big event of the Summit conference. Bad things tend to happen. (Jim, think of any given …

Complementing and Enhancing Search Engine Optmization (SEO) Using RedDot CMS at Summit 2007

Broadband Video News Powered by RedDot at Summit 2007
Talked to these guys last night. Heavy duty RedDot users. Don’t use the built-in publishing system — wrote an entire export using RQL. Publishes are down to 1 minute, and they’ve got at least 100 times the content (and …
Another Day at Summit 2007

Nathan Carver presenting. Talked with this guy many times before. Admits that this is a tough topic as experience with templates is varied. Prefers div to tables (no surprise there). Dangers of nested containers: more …
Leveraging RedDot CMS to create UNICEF websites around the world at Summit 2007
A little late in starting. Presenter reminds me of Rosemary, for some reason. Organizational structure (IT team separate from content entry) similar to how we want to work. RedDot responsible for publishing the sites. …
RedDot Keynote at Summit 2007
Okay, hard for me to avoid it now. We use RedDot. There, I’ve said it. Now let’s move on. Met Detlef Kamps (RedDot President) last night. Nice guy. German, and speaks English very well. Looking forward to my breakfast …
Keynote at Summit 2007
I have no idea who the guy is on the stage. He came out after a Harold Faltermeyer-esque opening movie (complete with Windows system click sound at the end) and started talking. No introduction whatsoever. John …
Live from Huntington Beach
So as you’ve already read, I’m currently in Huntington Beach. Why? In an acronym: CMS. Recently, as some of you know, we launched the Rolex.com website. It was done using a CMS system. I’m here for two reasons: to see …
