I love to talk about content management systems (CMS) because they are wonderful tools to help you communicate. But CMS is kind of like a hat. You like using it because it helps you. But everyone likes a different style. There are all kinds of styles of CMS. Many businesses use one to manage the [...]

My head is spinning around with a thousand ideas while I attend sessions at South by Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin. I can go from a session on aggregating information to a session on mom blogs and bump into someone you’ve always wanted to talk to but never had a chance. It’s been a great [...]

There is a lot of talk about the future and how we are at a turning point of change here at the South by Southwest festival in Austin. It’s exciting to be here and talk to so many people about it. It’s hard to break it all down in one blog post – but I’m [...]

I’m headed to Austin, Texas to take part in the monster South by Southwest Interactive festival (SxSWi). It’s days and days and days of networking, conference sessions, product testing and social gatherings. Heck, I’ve even found a group of people that runs each morning. I hope to take this time to meet hundreds of people [...]

I’ve never attended a DrupalCon before… and I have to say, it’s fantastic to talk to people and learn about what’s going on with this open source CMS. But the best things I’ve learned have come from side conversations and small unofficial sessions called Birds of a Feather or BoFs. I’ve been able to meet [...]

As I get deeper into the fun of DrupalCon, I realize I should start a talk about content management systems. A small one broke out on my Facebook page yesterday when my brother-in-law talked about how his newsroom (The Sporting News) is having a challenging time moving content into Drupal. I think almost all newsrooms [...]

I got to sit in a session where we’re learned about how newsrooms are using Drupal in varying ways. In a discussion called “Drupal in the Newsroom,” representatives from NY Observer (Tom McGeveran), Mother Jones (Nick Aster), and a representative from The McClatchy Company (I’m working on the name since I ran out of [...]

I have no clue how to code — I know how to hack into code and fix things the way I want them… But I attended a gentle introduction session at the start of DrupalCon in Washington, DC. We started out with terminology so I don’t feel so stupid. Addison Berry presented the first session [...]

I attended the first day of the Carnegie-Knight Conference on the Future of Journalism today in Cambridge, MA. It’s hosted by the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, & Public Policy. It’s a culmination of a number of initiatives and conferences hosted by the organization. I wanted to share the discourse and thoughts presented during [...]

I’m attending the Carnegie-Knight Conference on the Future of Journalism this week. It’s a collaborative conference between a number of journalism programs (Berkeley, Maryland, Columbia, Austin, Arizona, Nebraska, Carolina, Northwestern, USC, Syracuse and folks where I work: Missouri). The focus: the future. (CORRECTION: Arizona State University is here!)
I’m planning to twitter live during the conference [...]
