In this post we'll uncover a hidden gem within Sitecore to save you some time and grief. No longer will you worry about removing items in Sitecore accidentally and having to spend time with your support department trying to figure out where your items have gone.

Part two in the Productivity Tips for Content Authors and Experience Marketers series.

In this series of posts, I’m going to share my experiences, along with anecdotes and maneuvers, to help you efficiently work in Sitecore. I’ll do my best to keep the articles version-neutral and when I am not able to, I will note the Sitecore version accordingly.

we’re creating the first Sitecore-based Augmented Reality Treasure Hunt Game that Sitecore Symposium 2017 attendees can play to win an HTC Vive Virtual Reality Headset and other great prizes, and we’re looking for partners/participants.

For the past week, I was trying to figure out an issue related to the Experience Editor in Sitecore as it was rendering JSON as content.

I remember when I started to get myself into Sitecore development and I had to setup my environment for the first time, I needed to install MongoDB on my local machine so...

There are two ways to build a Sitecore package, it's either by using Sitecore Package Designer or by using Sitecore Rocks. Using Sitecore Rocks to create a package has many advantages including the ability to manage packages from Visual Studio or setting up dependencies in the package.

As a developer, how many times you needed to go through the publishing process in Sitecore to see your changes on the live site?

Sitecore's live mode will just save your time!

If you would like your visitors to navigate your newly created micro-site in a multi-site solution, you have to add site bindings and make sure your host name points to the server where the website...

In my previous article on "Connecting to Microsites with the Sitecore Federated Experience Manager (FMX)" we saw the power and possibilities for personalization when connecting Sitecore to a WordPress website. In this post we'll take another exploratory step in the world of FXM.

There is an expression that says, “there is more than one way to skin a cat” and there are many articles which cover “event tracking” through Google Analytics, but few on tracking PDF downloads directly within Sitecore. In fact, IMO Sitecore’s tracking is much easier since it handles all of the tagging and reporting for you - right out of the box - through a simple point-and-click process...which is why I wrote this post. How sweet is that?!

Sitecore Habitat In The Trenches presented by TechGuilds' Dennis Augustine

Thoughtful architecture can transform a simple tool shed into a flexible, efficient work of art that integrates seamlessly into it's surroundings. Whether you're building wooden tool sheds or WCMS systems, great architecture will help make your project look better, perform better, last longer, cost less, and be a heck of a lot more fun to build while poor (or no) architecture can be bad news all around. Habitat is Sitecore's answer to the call for standardized, best-practice-based architectural guidance for Sitecore projects. In this video Dennis Augustine leads a discussion about the pros and cons of the Habitat model and shares practical lessons gleaned from one of TechGuild's recent Habitat-based projects. He is joined by Razor Fish's Ben Swizter who relates their "In the Trenches", real-world experience implementing using Habitat and by Sitecore Habitat's own Thomas Eldblom
