FrameMaker EDD: Setting image position
When I import a graphic into my structured FM document, it centers the image. How can I modify the FrameMaker EDD to position anchored frames on the right by default?
In the EDD, I changed the "align" attribute in my Image element from "string" to "choice" and defined a list of choices (left, center, or right). When I import a graphic, I set the attribute value to "right, but of course it doesn't affect the graphic position because I don't know how to define "right" for FrameMaker.

I'm a DITA newbie: Can I reproduce old structure or should I give it up?
We're moving from unstructured FM to Structured FM and DITA. Our procedures have always used this hiearchy:
Section 1
Part 1
Step A
1.
a.
In DITA, we'll be limited to two step levels. Do we need to throw out our old hiearchy and adopt a much more simple approach; for example:
DITA, Metadata Maturity, & the Case for Taxonomy
Graydon
Content Management Meta-Data Stratigraphy, Topic-based Authoring, and DITA
A clever friend of mine suggested that I write some blog posts about DITA, or, rather, my experiences putting a DITA Content Management System into production use, since there's already a fair bit out there about DITA as an idea. I've been doing that on my personal blog, but it occured to me in the typical fashion of sudden rushes of intelligence to the head that putting those posts up here would get those posts to a wider audience.
