Allowing customers to edit static website via WYSIWYG Drupal is not a static website. Drupal requires a complete rewrite and rethink of an existing static website. Drupal is great, but it is in no way a competitor to Contribute. |

Is there any way to have search engines not index a certain section of a page? Not indexing a piece of a page is an extra step, it's additional data that requires parsing, so I find it understandable, given it's not something many people use, that Google would ignore it. It doesn't strike me as evil, just practical. It's a "nice to have" not a "must have" in my mind. |

How can I decide if I should roll my own software or use a packaged CMS (and appropriate plugins)? Oh, sure, WordPress does file management fine. Fixed my messed up links too. |

Is there an index of the IP addresses used by indexing bots? Right, not a useful solution. I don't mind bots visiting, I just don't want to care about them at that moment |

Is there an index of the IP addresses used by indexing bots? Good point. I'll be going for a hybrid approach, using the UA string, and adding IP addresses as needed. |

Is there an index of the IP addresses used by indexing bots? Good resource, though the IP addresses included in their data are incomplete. Still, I think adding the UA strings as something I check is a win. So I'll be watching for bots and ip addresses as needed. Thanks! |

How to find out if a logo has already been used/exists? @Devner, I agree, there's not a perfect mechanism to find out if a logo exists. I'm comfortable adding comments here, but not adding an answer per se. I'm hoping you find a way that is useful. |

How to find out if a logo has already been used/exists? If the logo is trademarked, you can do a trademark search (for US trademarks): uspto.gov/products/library/ptdl/services/tmsearch.jsp : If your mark incorporates a design or logo you must search for trademarks that might be confusingly similar. Use the index in the back of the Design Code Manual to locate the appropriate six-digit code for each design element in your mark. For example, a logo depicting an eagle would be coded 03.15.01. Each element in a logo is assigned a design code. Carefully review the guidelines for each category. |

Is there an index of the IP addresses used by indexing bots? I would send myself an email because that's the mechanism I want to use to be notified. I could do this by tailing the existing logs, but then it would not be instant, and I don't have access to "live" logs with my shared host. And it's not a hassle, and this is not for a page with huge amounts of traffic. I also execute this script after the page has loaded so there is no load time impact on the user. If it got into a resource issue then that would be a different issue. |

How to create a good sitemap for dynamic website If you're doing it by hand, I would put everything at 0.5, then put the very most important at 1.0. Then if you have time you can de-prioritize the least important. |

Where can I find the full list of Google/Microsoft CDN hosted AJAX files? Yeah, I like the question. I suspect that people will have to crawl the CDNs to get a full manifest. I suspect it will also change. You might update the question with other CDNs you want info for. I ran into this wondering if the AOL CDN for dojo had everything from dojo. |
