letsgetthisright.com gets it wrong
From the “What not to put on your website’s home page” department:
1. Under construction messages
2. Really STRANGE features like the one in bold below (although from a technical viewpoint, I am interested in how they accomplished this)
From their website (emphasis mine):
“Please be patient we are still under construction. This ‘static’ site is temporary. Stay tuned for our brand new ‘Dynamic’ site with hundreds of Key features to include just a few: the ability to create user profiles,extra fields in profile, enhanced registration workflows, user lists, connection paths between users, admin defined tabs and user profiles, image upload, front-end workflow management, integration with other components, like PMS, Newsletter, Forum, Galleries.
We are in the process of partnering with other conservative groups and alliances across the country in order to bring you an enormous network. Our new ‘dynamic’ site will be in operation very soon. You will have features at your command that will help level the playing field with the liberals. Thank You LGTR.”
Um...did you guys mean “CMS”?




PMS = Personal Messaging System (the private personal messages feature you often see on forums/bulletin boards)
But I agree, pretty disconcerting in that context.

In the last 5 years of looking at a wide variety of content management systems, I’ve only seen one, Joomla, that refers to the private message functions as PMS.
Someone should propose a better acronym.
[heh heh—Mike Hartman reads my blog. How awesome is that?]
