The right kind of content sharing on multiple-site web architectures

Mike:

One of the most common challenges with multiple-site web architectures is determining the right level of interaction between the sites. In particular, one of the most common requirements is for some kind of content sharing. The problem with "content sharing" is that it is usually given as a pretty vague requirement at first. It's like a home storage problem - you could be talking about building a second floor on your house, putting up a shed in the backyard, or buying a storage bin from IKEA. Here, I'll try to distill some of the issues and get you asking the right questions when you encounter the problem of content sharing across multiple websites within a web architecture.

Dave:

The built-in content list provided by Drupal does a few basic things well, allowing you to filter by taxonomy term, status, and node type. However, in cases where you have a large volume of content or a lot of custom CCK fields, this doesn't quite cut it. With the Content Management Filter module, the possibilities are endless.

Content reigns supreme, but forced blog entries never end well...

Joel:

Getting content on your site

Tiffany:

For several years, you heard “content is king” from the lips of every web marketeer. Then, there seemed to be a backlash. Websites trended towards flash and visual pieces. But like most things, the pendulum has swung back…quality information and news content again reigns supreme.
