Here is the final blog post on today’s #wcconf sessions. Again, this is a rapid fire/real time reaction to the speaker(s). My thoughts in ().
- (People coming in, I have remained in the same seat for two days. I am going to miss it. In fact, my unhealthy attraction for the Gleacher Center has reached epic proportions)
- (I want Jeff Eaton’s glasses. I may steal them off him during his presentation)
- (Karen is already going to swear. I’m giddy. )
- 11th hour shit storm problem, we have ALL experienced this
- We are smart people, yet will still run into this issues.
- The Day 2 problem starts on Day 1.
- (love when presenters reference other presenters in the same conference, it makes it seem like they are paying attention to each other. )
- Oh no! Karen went live with the existing content *cue lightening bolts* “Systemic failure”
- We knew the content sucked, but we couldn’t do anything about it. (internally dancing in my seat)
- 7000pages + 45 people + 6 weeks + 5400 = (um…ouch)
- Work with the worst content and the least complaint content providers
- Usability testing with content providers, not just end users.
- (this is a fucking good presentation)
- (interested to see how hard core project managers think of content strategy)
- Any time you work on content it is later than you wanted to.
- Black Boxing content is a systemic problem
- (Convincing non 11th hour shit storm of content creation is a bitch)
- Web strategy is not to new navigation options, it is to create more information for people to find.
- Not enough to persuade, you need to do it.
- Old Process diagrams…(hee hee good for a laugh)
- Demand to see real content in in designs so you can see the missing pieces
- Bring your own project plan and sync up activities
- (you know when you go to a show and bands just seem to single handedly kick ass, pushing the others toward more awesomeness? That is happening with today’s presenters. Blown. Away)
- (really cool the way Jeff is showing the back end of a site and how easy it is to add content on the fly)
- Drupal has a rep of being really flexible, but hard to manage content.
- Joomla somewhere in the middle ground
- WordPress, ridiculously easy for content
- shift focus away from features and towards task flow
- abject failure to apply user process design to CMSs
- (running over the time limit and NO ONE wants to leave. Fucking awesome)
- When presenting new designs you have to present the CMS input as well.
- CMS can do it, but will it do it well???
- stress test with the most possible content
- Content migration takes longer than you think
- Good planet takes planning and time
- No one goes to admire their templates, they are there for your content
- people who design the site need a good experience too.
- OUT!
