Designing for Change December 14th, 2009
Because the implementation of a new Web site is a large endeavor, it’s easy to overlook some aspects of the launch while you’re dashing across the finish line.
Before the button is pushed to launch the product, a Web team should choose a launch strategy that’s appropriate for their Web site. These strategies can help ease the transition and also maximize the impact of the launch.

ASP.NET Chart Control December 3rd, 2009
This is technically old news, but because this control doesn’t ship with Visual Studio .NET, it’s easily overlooked. This is a graph/chart control that’s easy to use and is pretty powerful. It’s sub-par compared to any custom controls that you can build in Javascript, but if you want something that’s quick and gets the job done, this control does the trick.

Smithsonian Commons: Vast, Findable, Shareable, Free December 3rd, 2009
Have you visited a Smithsonian website lately? Probably not. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Even those we interviewed on the National Mall in Washington DC at a physical Smithsonian museum hadn’t considered using a Smithsonian website. It’s a shame, considering the rich education available on their numerous affiliated websites. Few also realize the tradition of excellent and influential research conducted by the Smithsonian. What a lost opportunity to learn from one of the nation’s greatest collections of history, culture, art and science.
