Failings catch up with Web content management's consultingware (David Walker) -- "The rise of the commercial content management packages paralled the rise of the dot-coms, intent on growing now and making money later. As more sites adopt clear, well-defined commercial goals, those commercial packages will need to evolve or die."

Not to forget (and please excuse my linkwhoring) You need a content management system and Your clients need a content management system, both very fine articles on evolt.org. :)

I love evolt.org and do not spend enough time there...shame on me.

I've emailed David about this, but got no response. That white on blue combination is murder to my eyes. I find it hard to read beyond a few sentences. I suggested using silver instead of white, but he hasn't changed anything.

Am I the only one who finds it hard to read?

Madman,

The colours are OK, it's the font which gives me problems. I couldn't read a long article in this style. What font is it?

Alan, it's Georgia. Actually, it's supposed to be a very readable font. It was specially created as a serif font for the Web by Microsoft.

Well, I am overdue for an eye test...
