At Dot Com Systems we provide PM training for the corporate client. At least one corporate batch trained by DOC in every alternate month. So we are interested to hire certified trainer for our corporate batches.

Thanks.

Diana,
Thank-you for this tip. I have lodged my details and hope for new contacts. All the best with those who are shipwrecked. I think I am just stuck on a small sandbar tonight, and reading PM blogs while I wait for the tide to rise.

This is an excellent website!

It is easy to navigate and the name of the site and the tagline explain exactly what the site is about.

I love the picture! It perfectly captures that all-too-familiar feeling of being stranded and alone, yet responsible for the outcome of a miserably defective project. Yuk.

Hi, Becki. Great to see you again!

Thanks for this addition. I haven’t used InkScape, so I’ll take a look at it soon.

Another great one to add to the arsenal is InkScape (http://www.inkscape.org/). This is an open source program which is similar to Illustrator and FreeHand.

Hi, Lui. Great to see you here!

I use Nvu as my html editor. I used to use MS FrontPage, but found that it added html code that was difficult to correct. Nvu has downloads for both PC and Mac.

I’m using WordPress for this blog/website.

I tried using Joomla, but found it incredibly difficult. Unlike so many programs, it isn’t intuitive for me to use. But I know lots of people use it successfully.

I haven’t tried OpenSourceCMS yet. Thanks for the tip!

SimpleMachines is doing an excellent job as the forum software for SdB+PM Forum, the online community for senior project managers who manage global projects.

Thanks for all the great info, Lui.

I’d also like to suggest NVU as a simple “web authoring tool”. Great for simple static page stuff.

For dynamic sites, check out OpenSourceCMS.com Highly recommend Wordpress, Joomla, SimpleMachines and any hoster that uses Cpanel.

Cheers,

Glad I popped by and checked out the recommended PMHut site. Just so happens that today’s featured article is from a former HP PM, Lisa Sieverts, that I worked with on a large datacenter consolidation project a number of years ago. Unfortunately, she left early during the project. Now I know where she left to! What a small world!
