If I could chip in here and say that Brian's sites push the envelope of Conversant much more than mine does. One of these days I hope I'll get up to speed enough to implement many of the features that Brian is exploiting so effectively.

Again, I agree. Conversant is a different kind of beast to the likes of CityDesk. Although I'm only scratching the surface of its capabilities I can't imagine how other products could better. Conversant is much more than a Content Management System. I think of it as a personal knowledge management system as well as a collaborative (content) management system.

I could sing its praises all day but it's getting late here in Scotland...

Good luck! If you get into difficulties just holler over at FC Support. Macrobyte are superbly responsive and I'm sure others will chip in too if they can help.

Cheers,
