18. 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.
