Today, I would use either <a href="http://www.sitekreator.com/" rel="nofollow">SiteKreator</a> or <a href="http://www.synthasite.com/" rel="nofollow">Synthasite</a>, in combination with <a href="http://www.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">WordPress</a> for the blogging part. The new design for IT|Redux is mainly cosmetic. We want to have our own design, instead of a modified version of the Blix Them created by Sebastian Schmieg, which we are currently using. Mark,

Good questions!

Today, I would use either SiteKreator or Synthasite, in combination with WordPress for the blogging part. The new design for IT|Redux is mainly cosmetic. We want to have our own design, instead of a modified version of the Blix Them created by Sebastian Schmieg, which we are currently using.

That time has finally come. If you were going to update this blog entry with all that you have learned in the last five quarters of managing the Intalio, IT|Redux, and Office 2.0 Conference websites, what would you NOW recommend to build those sites? You also mentioned that a new design will be coming soon in the comments. What is driving the update (limitations?), and could your new design be a basis for updating your recommendations here? Thanks! Ismael,

The same might be true for the IT|Redux blog by the way. We will come up with a new design soon, and validation will be one of our goals. You're definitely going in the right direction. Kent,

Just out of curiousity, I set out to validate <a href="http://www.intalio.com/">intalio.com</a> in <a href="http://www.w3.org/">w3.org</a>. I was surprised to find tens validation errors under every doctypes. My question is: is careful coding not a priority to you? As for me, I spent ages getting my pages to validate properly. Am I going in the wrong direction? Your comments will be appreciated. Your post is excellent for a beginner like me. Just out of curiousity, I set out to validate intalio.com in w3.org.

A couple of much-needed and often-requested features remain to be implemented though. One would be to add user IDs into CSV contact exports in order to facilitate reconciliation with an external contact database.

I found Yahoo!'s hosting of WordPress to be quite fragile, especially when publishing long posts. More often than not, requests for publishing will time out, which can result in some loss of content if you're not careful. Updating multiple posts at once seems to make matter even worse. This thing does not like to be rushed... Also, there have been several instances where the database configuration got corrupted and WordPress could not connect to it. The worse instance lasted for about half a day. Last but not least, Yahoo! is pretty slow at updating WordPress with the last available version, which can be an issue when using many plugins. Let me know if I can be of any help for your project. Sandy,
