I didn’t think it was going to be difficult. I haven’t been actively doing any content oriented web development since entering the practice of law (go figure) but I had assumed that the usablility of online web page markup had improved. There are some very well supported packages like php-nuke and others. I was looking for a package I could edit pages using database backed tags and upload multimedia or non-HTML word docs or powerpoints via adding a link to a page. For example, trying to manage my presentation and writing from my fellowship is turning into a disaster. There is the problem that I have files scattered all over my laptop’s harddrive with different revisions that I can’t track revisions for, but not solved without document managment packages. At a more basic level though the editing process seems to clunky for me. Mambo looked promising but its theme editing and multimedia file managment was too much of a headache. At this point I am just hand editing files and uploading them. I would use WordPress, which I’m using for this blog, but the WYSIWYG HTML editing plugin I tried isn’t working and it’s not really heirarchial enough. Anyway.. off to bed..
