Forum Moderators: not2easy
I work on a series of European travel sites. To begin with my humble Excel-based content calendar was sufficient, broken down into monthly refresh cells for mainland Europe and weekly, for the UK.
However, and somewhat predictably in hindsight, I now find myself updating and publishing new content all over the place. So I've outgrown the Excel content calendar.
How do you go about creating an effective content calendar? I have a set number of content blocks (published through Interwoven TeamSite), campaigns to factor in, and dedicated travel pages to think about.
Ideally I'd like to have a 'dashboard' showing all the live content across the 13 languages, with a repository of archive content easily accessible when I have to run reports on which content blocks have been successful during certain timescales.
Many thanks for reading. Fantastic forum - so glad I found you!
What I'm looking for is a way to create a calendar on my machine that shows live content published at our sites; and also enables me to archive and search content that's gone before.
The sites are set up pretty inflexibly (to work with TeamSite I guess) so you only have a set number of content 'blocks' to publish too.
Importantly though, the calendar also has to contain records of campaigns that are operated outside of the core website's infrastructure. So this calendar has to be accordingly flexible.
How does everyone else calendarise their content?
