It augments the left navigation panel. <p> We moved the cluster of List/Search/Directory/Compare tools to the right-hand side of the page, over the new Glossary. We also reduced the number of choices in the left navigation, and retitled several of them.

Editorial details at <a href="http://www.cmprofessionals.org/Resources/glossary.html">CM Professionals > Glossary</a>. <p> A connector/adapter script running on <a href="http://www.cmscalendar.com">CMSCalendar.com</a> retrieves the term and definition data from the <a href="http://www.cmswiki.com">CMS Wiki</a>, and converts it for use in an XML feed or a JSS feed script. <p> There are three glossary feeds, all driven from a simple drop-down menu. One opens a new window with the CMS Glossary definition. The others target a frame or an iframe in a website. We use the iframe approach on the new CMS Review home page. <p> We formatted the CMS Glossary to match the styles on <a href="http://www.cmswatch.com">CMS Watch</a> and the <a href="http://www.gilbane.com">Gilbane Report</a>. <p> The Glossary is also serving from <a href="http://www.content-wire.com/CMSREVIEW/CMSREVIEW.cfm?ccs=194">Content-Wire.com</a>, <p> The CMS Glossary now has over 200 defined terms and over 500 candidate terms. <p> Bob Doyle https://www.cmsreview.com/timelines/PageComment.html?doWhat=ReadSeriesComments&RelDirPath=/Editors/&PageID=901 Sat, 22 May 04 02:05:00 +0000 https://www.cmsreview.com/Editors/blog.20040531222813.html https://www.cmsreview.com/Editors/blog.20040326002731.html <br /> We visited lots of vendor booths at the Gilbane Conference. <p> Here are a few thumbnails... <p> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="http://www.cmsreview.com/Resources/Gilbane/PicsLA2004/GilbaneThumbnails1.jpg"> <p> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="http://www.cmsreview.com/Resources/Gilbane/PicsLA2004/GilbaneThumbnails2.jpg"> <p> Tony Byrne's One Minute With A Vendor was a big success.
