    Notes on slide 1

    Add-ons don’t solve everything. They can make it worse or just be unnecessary.
    Example: social bookmarking links handrolled vs. add-on

    SL Developer Info - offers quick links to everything you need while developing. Very handy. Better than clicking around.

    Build and design (the architecture) of your EE site with the people in mind who will actually be updating and maintaining it.

    two field groups is easier, but twenty might be better.
    use LG Add CP Tabs to create a unified CP look for all of your administrative users.

    Don’t leave stray stuff around the control panel.
    Remove unneeded tabs in the publish form.
    if you’re not using the formatting toolbar, remove it!
