False advertising... I have only provided five signs that your content management is sub-optimal. I'm looking for another 96 signs from y'all

1. You have to use a google site: search to find content on your own site.

2. You have seven copies of everything on your local hard drive...

3. ... and three on your server.

4. You just got flagged for duplicate content because you accidently rewrote and article that you had previously written in 2005.

5. You just looked at your server log and your most visited page is your custom 404 page (not making this up - I know someone this has happened to after a changeover to a new CMS).

Anyone want to add 96 more?

9. You absolutely have to use three different third party components and they absolutely refuse to play well together.

11. You notice that special characters behave badly when you import the database on local machine (database character encoding is wrong).

12. The point of installing a CMS was to make the site easier to administer, but after three weeks of training the site admin still can't create a new page.

13. You want to put two images in the main content, but that CMS that cost over $100,000 to implement is only set up to allow one image per page in the main content (and yes friends, that is based on a true story).
