WCMS Kitchen sink survey
If you participated in the WCMS Kitchen sink survey and answered ‘yes’ to specific questions about Live stream, tables, and metatags, we’d like to follow-up with you to obtain further information! Please reach out if:
Metatags:
- you have ever set up meta information on a single piece of content that uses different information between Facebook (Open Graph) and Twitter.
- other than the "robots" choices, you ever add additional meta information that isn't set by default.
- anyone has any sort of meta information that they'd like to add at the page level that they currently can't add, or have any additional comments about meta information.
Livestream:
- you are aware of anyone that is literally using or planning to use the website called "Livestream" to live stream videos and is currently embedding them on the page? Which, using or planning?
- you are currently embedding live streams using either Vimeo or YouTube.
- you have live streams elsewhere that you are not embedding in the WCMS that you would like to.
Tables
- you use tables to format non-tabular content.
