I find your 1st two tips very interesting, as I started doing both of these to some degree in the last few months. The logical naming of nodes is something we have always done. I disagree with Mikeyc, finding unique names is easy with a standard. No two nodes are identical anyway. The 'frag as a file store' is something we have started doing here recently, and DAMN is it handy. Previously we had site wide images, CSS and JS checked in as content. This made editing them a nightmare! Checking out, editing, checking in, review changes, repeat. A contractor set up the JSP -> eclipse link for me a while back, I will have to check that out again sometime. Hey, just found your blog.

This can help you reuse layouts/fragments when you may otherwise need a new one. Things like queries can be defined in the section properties so that the same layout can have different dynamic list results. It's also handy for defining meta tags that may be applicable per section of the site. There's also a way to define site-wide properties using it. See doc 445449.1 on metalink.oracle.com for a how to. Another good tip I like is to really make use of Custom Section Properties.

To your comment though, I think that's an excellent point in relation to dozens of sub-admins. I can see how could quickly become a bear to manage. Still I think for the majority of sites having logically named IDs can help a great deal when it comes to debugging issues and development. Hi Mike,

My site has dozens of subadmins with access to nodes. They can't even assign proper URL directory names! Once an ID is used, it cannot be reused... and everyone wants to use "about". Stick to auto-generated nodeIDs and just chuck in some code to identify the label whenever required. I really disagree about naming your nodes. My site has dozens of subadmins with access to nodes.
