Short sleeves on button-down shirts vs. rolled up long sleeves?

brettvirmalo 0 points1 point 1 month ago[-]

I wish I could find a photo of Jürgen Klinsmann coaching Germany in the 2006 world cup. you've never seen a better pair of rolled white sleeves. I swear he has them ironed whilst rolled up then puts the shirt on.

I wear both, but do think a short-sleeve well fitted with sleeves that are short (not elbow length) beats rolled any day.

Dear bookit: what is the most 'impossible to put down' book you have read? Fiction or non-fiction.

Go get some letter stencils and make your own. You'll thank yourself in the end.

I'm all for giving clients a CMS. But have you ever checked back on a finished site a few months later only to find your masterpiece completely ruined with MS Word copy/pastes, video embedding and crappy "social" plug-ins?

I am not talking about videos and text on a page. I should have been more clear. You need to provide and education. Classes once a week for four weeks with all of the stakeholders.

If your client is willing to invest in a CMS driven site, then they need to be willing to invest in teaching their people how to use it. Add value by including lessons on using analytics like Mint or Google and design tools. Use this as an opportunity to up-sell them on additional plugins or functionality.

Your CMS implementation needs to be accompanied by a curriculum and resources (i.e. video screencasts) for ongoing management
