Last week i discovered a great resource for information about Umbraco. It's a christmas calendar that contains 24 blog posts about Umbraco and how to use it. I would like to present some of my favorite posts here.
Focus on the editors
The editors are the people who will use the system the most. Thats why I love these posts about how to make Umbraco easier to use for our editors:

Developers goodies
Another great topic is speed. I see far to many pages that are slow because the developers don´t implemented a good cache-strategy - I love the quote "not running code is the fastes way to improve you applications speed".

Tomorrow I'm getting on a plane to the south of Sweden and on tuesday I will attend the Umbraco course in Copenhagen! =D I'll try to write some blog posts during the week - I'm working on a post about the new data layer in Umbraco 6 based on the great micro orm PetaPoco.
