Anthony, once again, the site looks awesome, I still haven’t gotten mine to "emulate" yours, however, if you want to track the progress, I am doing it on my webserver here locally, which can be found at http://steev.is-a-geek.net - and as a lil added treat, im testing out this pretty cool blog type system, was considering going to just a blog, but then, I dunno... but it can be found at http://steev.is-a-geek.net/denial/ Both e107 and denial are fairly interesting, and as my "coding skills" aren’t quite up to par, I have to go with what I know, and since I know these guys, I can just ask them if there is a problem or I want something, they can always steer me in the direction. Keep up the great site, I definately enjoy your musings.
What’s up Steev, thanks for the compliments. Your is-a-geek site is looking pretty smooth; of course, that’s the default theme, but still it’s nice. You’re gonna give me the gotta-make-a-new-theme bug : )
That photo of you on steev.net is quite intimidating... you look like somekinda king in that fur coat!
So... is the blog the main purpose of your site? I guess that’s the question when deciding whether to go CMS or just a blog or what. I don’t know if you noticed, but I’ve made my blog/messageboard into a script that anyone can download and install, it’s at /software/blogger/ if you wanna check it out. It’s fully customizable and everything, works with a CSS file, and it’s a single CGI script. I think it’s pretty nice, but then again it is my own, so I would think that... and I haven’t used any other CMS/blogger so I can’t really say how it compares.
actually Anthony, the CMS i made is fully capable of being a CMS or a blog. The next version is going to have a preference of either Blog with projects page, or news with blogs and multiple project tiers.
but then again ... i’m the author and therefore biased :P
Hey seraph, thanks for weighing in. I wasn’t making any claims about your CMS though. I actually brought up the CMS vs. blog question because my script is just a blog, so if Steev was leaning more towards full CMS, then my script wouldn’t help him.
Anyway I should think it goes without saying that since yours is a CMS, it can function perfectly well as a blog. Or at least, one would hope!
you are completely right anthony, at first, i thought i wanted a full site, but the more i dwell on it, the more im really more into a blog. having all sorts of gizmos on the site is cool, but at times, its just plain annoying, and unnecessary. That’s why when kevin (seraph) asked me to test out denial, i jumped at the chance. his is geared more towards someone who just wants a quick and dirty (figure of speach) site up, then thats the way to go. I am going to check out your blogger as well - I am not quite sure how to yet, as the is-a-geek.net is my trusty pentium 233 sitting to my right, and im not quite sure how to get cgi-bin stuff going on it, still trying to learn linux.
