The great jigsaw puzzle continues to evolve
Twice in the same month! Crazy blogging machine. 
I have been thinking about the software I use and how it all can fit together to make a given website.
CMS commitments
Another post this year. Anyone would think I was actually blogging
Lately I have been trying to explain what it means to start relies on cms scripts as a modern web manager. It is hard at the beginning to image the level of commitment you are making when you say choosing Drupal over Joomla or viceversa.
Tales of dedide the templater
Being convinced that sites need to be built with a cms leads to some teeth grinding and hair pulling. All my study of usability focuses on making the site a joy to use with great navigation, content and flow. But how to make this worthy goal match up with the impositions and restrictions of the CMS? So many CMS and so many impositions and restrictions to work around.
As noted elsewhere in this blog, I have given up working with Joomla (and family) templates as the pain does not justify the gain for most clients I have come across. I have also worked with both CMSMadeSimple and WordPress 
, where you are presented with an editor to rewrite bits and pieces.
But by far the easiest CMS from the point of view of templating is my current favourite li’l CMS, LightNEasy.
Templating tales
Long hiatus but living up to my rep as a spasmodic blogger. I have been hard at work on lotsa projects but as I live in a nominally christian country, I now have a few days off from everything. So I thought I would write a bit about sNews and my templating adventures.
