Hmm.. I really need to write another article, well I suppose I don’t NEED to, I just want to! It’s pretty addictive writing is! Dispite a few annonymous comments on my articles by some arseholes who are too chicken to give a name or an email address i shall continue writing them!
Although it may not be the most exciting stuff it IS interesting to me, and I’m sure other people might find it interesting too! So if you wish to post your abusive notes do them somewhere else or at least leave an email or a name!
Anyhoo, I’m thinking about writing an article about using a Compact Flash card as a bootable hard drive, as I’ve been playing around and you can do some really cool stuff with it!
Been a bit busy with other web projects at the moment, spent quite a while working on a site for Tameside Netball Club. The design is pretty much finished now and I just really need the content to go on. I also need to get the forum fully tested.
This site has been a real adventure for me as it’s given me a chance to develop my own web based WYSIWYG content management systems using a great script called aBitWhizzy. It’s an AJAX-style app which gives users a cross-browser compatible online webpage editor. As powerful as Frontpage or Dreamweaver and as easy to use as Microsoft Word! If you want to have a play with it visit here.
Although it is an amazing app it does have some features missing and it has given me a real chance to develop add-on features and integrate these with aBitWhizzy. For example, although images can be selected from the server and added to the pages there is no way to add additional images onto the server, so i have designed a basic PHP file upload script, customized it’s look and increased it’s security and have seamlessly integrated it into aBitWhizzy. I’m very impressed with it because you wouldn’t even think you had left the page builder software at all, and when you return from uploading your pictures the new images appear instantly on screen ready for use on your pages.
It’s all still a work in progress at the moment and hopefully I can start putting content on soon , but it’s certainly a very exciting project!
