Project Data Maintenance

Don't do for Drupal

Do not place content within the page template (in the theme). All content/copy must be part of the CMS therefore, manageable without the need

of a code/theme change. Only theme related content (such as images) must be part of the

theme or theme references.

Do not place content references within the PHP code in the modules. Always reference the CMS

for that.
