I hate to take the...

Submitted by Tim (not verified) on March 2, 2006 - 2:32pm.

I hate to take the other side here, but LIVE editing of a production anything is just asking for trouble, when you (as you inevitably will) slip up one day and save a broken whatever. I’d buy it for live editing of the test server, but then have controls in place to make sure someone reviewed the dang thing before it got moved into production space.

Nothing ruins your company’s “web cred” any faster than a broken web site.
