Excellent article — I particularly like the sound of the voldemort approach ;)
It’s funny how, even though everyone knows ‘content first’, etc now, many of us still aren’t really sure how best to approach it.
On the site I’ve been working on for the past few months, I’ve gone through all the old content, and put each piece through the test: is it useful to the user, and will the user read it? We then adjusted/rewrote as required.
Got rid of a lot of massive blocks of text that were doing nothing apart from filling bandwidth and looking intimidating.
