Postive marketing slogans work better IMHO. Some people may already be using website solutions that work good for their existing use cases and are just interested in Plone for only some website needs or just evaluating it to see if it can do a better job. Negative slogans make people feel defensive as it can be implied that "non-Plone" is a poor choice.

Positive slogans might be, "Get excited when you think about your website" or "Collaboratively manage your web site content with confidence".

Well, this was more aimed at people who do not know what to use yet or maybe simply users of bad systems.
But I was also planning on making some more positive ones anyway. So thanks for your suggestions :)

I am also not sure if people really will get defensive or simply ignore it then. Should I use SuperCMS 2000 and it works great for me I won't get nervous and I won't look at Plone. OTOH if I get a positive message I might feel more curious and check it out. Anyway, positive ones are coming, too.

I also wanted to make a "I am a fan of Plone" button (for blogs or so)

(It was more spontaneous anyway)

Well, unfortunately we need to work on providing more portlets which do such things out of the box, e.g. some HTML portlet. (talking about Plone 3.0+ here btw).

Because portlets are only on the sides you need to do something different for the leaderboard banner though. You can use the customerize method (which definitely needs a new and better interface).

To do this, login and go to

/plone/portal_view_customizations/

(/plone is my portal root).

Then you should find the logo part on the list.
It's for me at

/plone/portal_view_customizations/zope.interface.interface-plone.logo

This actually is the code responsible for the logo. It can be changed there and you can put the banner in.

You might also look for header sections etc. for other places.

As for complete banner systems I don't know any. You probably can hook up OpenAds with Plone but I am not sure if there's a component ready for it.

It's definitely something we should provide in the future.

As for the portlet story I hope that with the next release we also have static HTML portlet.
