Confluence Macros – It's Evolution Baby!
One of most powerful things about Confluence is the rich ecosystem plugins that users have at their disposal. Whether it be embedding a PowerPoint presentation on a page, creating a live dashboard with real-time metrics, or showing off your favourite Flickr slideshow , Confluence can handle all that! Confluence really is more than a wiki. But, in order to create all this cool content, you must first know the syntax for the macros required. With hundreds of plugins, each with their own set of macros, this proves to be quite difficult! Let’s not forget how it can be difficult for Confluence admins to manage all of the additional plugins. Well, we’ve recognised that and we’ve done something about it. Let Boots and I take you on a journey of the evolution of Confluence Macros.

Confluence + Wufoo, it's a match made in heaven!
There is a pretty kick-ass feature in the latest Confluence release, Confluence 2.10.3, which slipped right under my nose. It’s an addition to the list of the many supported web services for Jens’s awesome Widget Connector. Best of all, it’s free to use!

Creating a FAQ
Part 2 of this blog series focused on how the content in the Confluence Evaluator Resources space has been carefully organised in an inclusions library to avoid duplication of content. This instalment explains how we created the frequently asked questions section of the space.
Organisation is Key
Part 1 of this series of blogs on the evolution of the Evaluator Resources space focused on how the sales team used Confluence to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of delivering information to prospects and evaluators. This instalment of the series looks at how, and why, content in the Confluence Evaluator Resources space has been organised. Learn how we used an inclusions library along with a couple of bundled macros to avoid duplication of content and improve visibility of information. Further, utilising CustomWare’s free Composition Plugin we created a set of tabbed pages that visitors new to wikis could resonate with. To find out more, read on…
Sales, we have a problem…Confluence is the solution
This is the first part of a four part series focusing on the evolution of the Evaluator Resources space, built on our enterprise wiki, Confluence. What started as a channel to deliver information to Confluence webinar attendees in an efficient and timely manner, has quickly evolved into an extensive knowledge base for helping prospective customers evaluate all of our products. The goal of the space is to provide rich, useful information and resources to evaluators via a medium that is easy to maintain and quick to update. What better medium than a wiki!
