Introduction
Hi folks
It's been a few weeks since the last newsletter but I have some great links in this one. Firstly, there's a post by Jordin Brown describing how the Cognetif site was built with Perch. Nice one.
Sometimes we can be "too close" to our own sites but it's always useful to write about building your personal/business site with Perch and I'd encourage everyone to do this. There's always something to learn by writing and reading posts about site builds.
Importing into Perch can be a quick and easy way of generating site content. So, I've included two links that describe importing into Perch Blog and how to start with importing assets into Perch.
See you next time...

Building the latest Cognetif website
Perch is a nice CMS ... for many reasons, one being it's easy to extend through custom apps and plugins. This is great because the core of the site stays light and you add on only what you need for the project at hand, your site can grow as you require and you're not stuck with a bunch of extra plugins or functionality you're not actually using...
This reduces the amount of maintenance and security concerns for the site making its life span much longer and a better return on investment.
