Intro in Content Strategies

What Wikipedia will say about content strategies:

“Content strategy refers to the planning, development, and management of content—written or in other media. The term is particularly common in web development since the late 1990s. It is a recognized field in user experience design, but also draws interest from adjacent communities such as content management, business analysis, and technical communication.”

For me is is about getting all of the “meat” of what your website.  This is include but not be limited to written media, info-graphics, pictures, videos etc.  It is a very important step and one of the first steps to making a web site. “Content Drives Design,” should be something that all web developers should be thinking about when doing a new design.

This class will be helping me understand not only word press but content strategies.
