The National Curriculum Web site has completed its migration to the new version of Openharmonise, Simulacra`s open source Content management system (CMS).

"The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) launched the National Curriculum Web site five years ago using the old version of Harmonise, which subsequently has been updated and relaunched as an open source product," writes PublicTechnology.Net.

The National Curriculum Web site uses Openharmonise to support a large and highly complex classification system to link specific parts of the National Curriculum to relevant content and its teaching resources. The technology is connected via SOAP Web service to the Department of Education and Skills Curriculum Online gateway.

Jim Howard, CEO of CrownPeak, shares 10 tips on how content management should change with a Web site and map the site`s success at iMediaConnection.

"A bad CMS (or a good one that`s not well managed) will lead to a bad Web site over time," introduces Howard.

He explains the 10 checkpoints everyone should consider when implementing a CMS:

1. Don`t build custom software to do content management
2. Don`t over-engineer
3. Support is more important than software
4. Organise your site properly
5. Make sure the user interface is basic
6. Prototype
7. Training and the user manual can determine success
8. Don`t forget e-mail, search and RSS
9. Analytics and reporting (on the site, the CMS and the search system) tell us how to manage the site
10. Integrate your online advertising planning with Web site planning
