Hey all, I'm trying to argue the side of using this custom tag instead of
building a content management system that publishes static HTM pages.
Basically, it will be the same system... the content will be stored in a
database, but instead of publishing that content to a static .htm page, I
want to just query it from a dynamic CF template so I can eliminate all of
the headaches that are associated with completely static sites (maintaining
links, etc). I just think that publish feature will ultimately be the fate
of this system, and it will grow to be a complex beast that nobody ever
wants to touch. I don't know, maybe I'm biased since most of my sites have
been dynamic in nature - I just like the manageability.

My question is this - has anyone worked with this custom tag. Is there
anything I'm missing that I should be concerned about?

I thought about using a custom tag to build our dynamic links so if we ever
need to revert back to the old format, we would just flip a switch in app
globals and poof - all of our hyperlinks will be built the "correct" way.
That might break other's links to our site's content, but I'm sure we could
accommodate for them somehow.


Today I noticed slashdot had linked to this article:

Right away I was tickled, and hopefully it helps my case. It's also good to
see a site that uses CF, probably without much load on average, be able to
withstand such a pounding from slashdot.
