Rosemary’s Writings
Those of you with eagle eyes and inquisitive minds will be wondering why I have added a link to a seemingly unrelated web site under the blog roll. As you can imagine I am always looking for a new challenge, a way to keep my skills in check and provide a relevant area for me to double check some of my documentation and procedures. Well the truth is that it is My Mum’s Website and I am doing all of the Tech work for the site and the hosting related tasks. I used Rosemary’s Writings to consolidate some of my documentation and procedures, some of which will appear here, including Purchasing a Domain and organizing Name Servers page. WordPress has made it a lot easier to do the admin work for the site, particularly once I got the site up and running.
By hosting a slightly more demanding Web site, it has forced me to be a little more careful with testing and ensuring uptime. This has opened the door for me to do some work for other people as well. Therefore I use my blog as a bit of a test ground before I implement things on other peoples pages. So occasionally you might catch a weird theme or an unrelated plugin and you will know that I am probably just testing something. Please don’t be deterred by this… I always try to put things back to the way they should be before I finish.
At the moment I am looking for Php based website that is more Page focussed than WordPress for another job I am working on. Failing that I am looking for a way to turn wysiwyg generated html pages into php based page with css stylesheet. I am open to suggestions.

Durpal looks cool, but I am not sure that I need the Bleeding edge technology that they are developing. I want something that is really admin friendly and simple for Site visitors.
Blogs are to wordpress as static pages are to Drupal. You’d be crazy to use anything else. If you are going to make your own and want a nice javascript editor use http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/
How soon will you update your blog? I’m interested in reading some more information on this issue.
