Authoring Techniques to Maximize Content ReuseThis session focuses on the content-management related concepts of writing content once, marking content with meta-data, and then re-using that content in as many contexts as required (single-source publishing). The core of content reuse, the Topic, will be explored as well as the use of authoring techniques that allow content to be written once and used often. |

Creating and Using Templates - The key to consistencyOne of the best techniques for helping to ensure consistency through a project is the proper use of templates. This session will discuss the importance of templates, how to create them, and best practices. This session will also cover various kinds of templates from topic templates all the way to whole project templates. |
| 2:00-2:30PM |
Beyond Your Core Authoring Environment - Are there tools to make life easier?While core authoring environments these days provide all of the textual publishing capabilities you could want, sometimes you may want more. You may need to create or modify images and/or multimedia. You might want to automate maintenance tasks such as finding orphan styles, or duplicate content. Quite often we will need to work with larger teams requiring content or reviews from subject matter experts. Also, for most of us translation/localization is either already here or on the horizon. There are tools available to address all of these areas and this session will explore their capabilities. We will start with a brief overview of multimedia creation and editing capabilities. Then, we will look at how the occasional contributors and/or reviewers can be integrated into a professional workflow. Next will be a look at the reports and automation capabilities that are available, and finally, we will conclude with an overview of translation/localization possibilities. |

Advanced CSS Techniques: Getting the Look You WantThis presentation will focus less on CSS theory and more on techniques and examples that can be taken back and used in your own projects. Techniques for controlling content margins/indents, setting up lists and nested lists, creating floating content boxes or navigation boxes, and much more will be covered. |
