I’ve been offline for almost 6 months and trying to catch up again. What would be 3 noteworthy changes/updates in web design during that time?

What’s the best CMS for an ad agency website, complete with multiple blogs and password-protected areas?

- Kevin F. 24 / M / Lincoln, NE

Sounds like you have a big project on your hands. I think the most important thing to consider is that any one product that handles multiple blogs and group level access may have too many moving parts, be over developed, or be packaged software that requires extensive customization.

I’d recommend you carefully consider the various elements you need, why you’d want separate blogs, and what information needs to be password protected. I’d suggest you’d be better served by multiple, simple solutions than trying to force one of the popular open-source CMS’ to fit your mold.

Thanks!

We recently came across an article by Linnda Durre (her parents spelled her name wrong, not me) titled: The Worst Words to Say at Work. The list is made up of phrases that Durre claims "will make you sound noncommittal, undependable and untrustworthy." The list includes hits such as "I guess…" and "I dunno" and my personal favorite, "Whatever…".

And maybe these aren’t the best words to use at work but she’s kidding herself if she thinks they’re the worst…
