[geeklog-devel] The Slogan

[Tom]

Purely from a SEO stand point, having keywords people use to search for
content management systems would help.

So I think we should try to work in the words "CMS" or "website" (any
others???) into the Geeklog slogan.

Tom

PS Here are a quick few I came up with...

Geeklog - A Content Management System with Security in mind.
Geeklog - The Open Source CMS Solution.
Geeklog - Manage your Content Securely.

or taken straight from our meta tags title (a little long at 65 characters)

Geeklog - An open source Content Management System designed with security in
mind.

So the search for a new name hasn't really made any progress (not really
unexpected). But there's something else that we should be able to fix
more easily: Geeklog's slogan.

As stated elsewhere, I was never really happy with that slogan.
Initially, because of its claim ("ultimate", i.e. there can't be
anything better - isn't that a tad presumptuous?). And these days, when
somebody heard this slogan, they would most likely associate it with
some other system (starts with a 'W').

So we need something else.

I think that instead of claiming something that we aren't, we should go
with something descriptive (which, I would hope, could also help
overcome any aversion against The Name). So the slogan should express

- what it does
- why you should choose it over something else

The ultimate [yep] plain and simple slogan for a CMS (IMHO, FWIW,
anyway) would be

  "Software to build websites with"

But that one's already taken: Dries Buytaert used it in his 2009 FrOSCon
keynote (for Drupal, of course).

However, that's the general direction I think we should be going. So
here are some lame attempts of my own:

  Publish your stuff. Securily.
  Build a Website, securily.
  Web Publishing - reliable and secure.

So for me, the answer to the 2 above questions is that "it's something
that lets you build a website" and "it's safe, you won't get hacked
every other week".

Yes, I realize "your stuff" is not really printable. It was just to get
me in the mood of thinking in a certain direction: This is an elevator
pitch to the extreme. Or think of it as a Twitter post with 40-60
characters max.

So, who can come up with something better?

And to make it more interesting, I'll throw in a t-shirt[1] for the winner
:)

bye, Dirk
