Alternative CMSes to look at…

There’s in interesting article over at vitamin by Paul Boag entitled The 5 hidden costs of running a CMS. Of course these costs must be allowed for in any serious CMS implementation strategy. Not much emphasis is given to the very real need for any publication content managed by a person or to be edited. Just like in the good old world of print. Just because the web allows us to publish instantly – it doesn’t mean it’s necessary a good idea to do so. There’s a good article about the need for editors over at ALA (I think I’ve mentioned before).

Anyway down in the comments there’s the obligatory Drupal big-up along with mention of a couple of a couple of other options. I’m going to keep MODx in my back pocket. I like the look of it…

Font management on Mac OS X by Linotype

Thanks to guns for for making me aware of FontExplorer in the comment on this thread on how to organize fonts using Font Book over at Mac OS X Hints. FontExplorer looks great; the price certainly is. Must give it a good look when I get a chance.
