Over 200+ hand-curated content strategy resources: books, blogs, journals, articles, conferences, and meetups - all in one place!

…I’ve been getting a lot of questions about Content Strategy. What is it? What books and blogs should people read to learn about it? What conferences should folks attend and who are the experts in the field?

I thought I would assemble my favorite Content Strategy resources into a list that has everything all in one place for folks who, like me, are new to this field. This makes it easier to find for those who are interested, not to mention easier for me to share when I get questions.

Nice summary of some modules that integrate with Views (Drupal) to cool effect.

FooTable plugin makes it really easy to create responsive HTML tables that look great on small devices. Using a concept called “breakpoints”, you can define which column should be displayed or hidden when the table is being viewed using a mobile or monitor.

Click through to see a sample “joyride” (a.k.a. a walk-through tour or visual tutorial of the kind you see on a site that has just added new features or changed something around, to bring it to the users’ attention).

So your boss just made ‘copywriter’ a de facto addition to your job description, and the only writing you’ve done since graduation is with To: fields or with two thumbs.

Take heart. With some basic guidelines (grouped by level of difficulty), you can make your writing easier to read and easier to engage than much of what’s out there on the wild wild web…

Open Concept:

We’ve been strategizing, evaluating & deploying the Government of Canada’s (GoC) Drupal 7 Web eXperience Toolkit (WxT) since it was first released over a year ago.  We’ve implemented this for government agencies inside & outside the GoC because it is clear that so many agencies need to meet the dual challenge of a site which is both bilingual & accessible. 

The Drupal Variant of the Web eXperience Toolkit is an open platform for web publishing which has a critical mass of public sector agencies collaborating with it publicly in GitHub.   It is also exciting to see institutions like the University of Ottawa adopting it because of their need to ensure that their website is fully bilingual and meets WCAG 2.0 AA.
