KDEWolf 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2006 Considering you have pretty good skills at programming, I don't think I could be of any use to your project, other than making some pretty graphics here and there. Anyway I found the initiative very interesting, and would like to help a little. In case you need anything, please Private Message me. I'll be on vacations this week, but in 7 or 9 days I'll be here again.Wish you luck! And happy holidays! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sujith 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 turbopowerdmaxsteel, are you using any type of content management system for that site.(CMS) Switched to Xisto, site has new and (hopefully) improved look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turbopowerdmaxsteel 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 Nope, infact I have no idea what this CMS is all about. Care to elaborate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sujith 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 CMS means Content Management System, it is a web script that will allow you to create content for your site.The difference between a handmade site and a CMS powerd site is that once you learn a CMS you can manage, create and edit the content of the site easily without caring about the design or the template.Once you select the template and customize it the CMS will look after everything for you, you are creating the content not the design so it is easy.You can tryout some of the popular CMSs such as Joomla - https://www.joomla.org/ Drupal - https://www.drupal.org/ Wordpress - https://wordpress.org/You can tryout these live at http://www.opensourcecms.com/Ask if you have anymore questions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turbopowerdmaxsteel 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 Oh! I see, thats what m^e is using for his site http://chaos-laboratory.com/ (Wordpress) I think the idea is good for people who don't have enough time to design their sites. But, I would rather stick to taking everything under my control and make all the small and subtle changes. Besides, I guess blogs benefit greatly from CM systems and my site which's primarily aimed at being the host for my softwares, doesn't quite fall in the CMS based site's category.

sujith 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 You got it all wrong my buddy,You must use a CMS to know the power of it.Wordpress is just a bloging system, which is not really powerful iconsidering content representation but for a blog we need that.Say you want a site that have some users and need to setup up those users acess to post news stories you need to code heavily to make this happen but if you use a CMS with user support it is simple.But some CMSs are hard to learn Drupal, Typo3 are very tough (I haven't tried but from what I read).I don't have designing ability so I get a theme upload it.Another good thing is that you will get many addional stuff , say you need RSS function it is automatically available.Less work more power and control..
