The weblog of Steve Ivy, going since 1999 in one form or another. Still something of a CMS junkie.
XVI Edition.
☀️ Earliest posts come first.
Day two on the new Redmonk Conversant-powered weblog. So far my day sucks, starting at 2 am this morning when I awoke with a throbbing pain in a tooth. It kept me up til almost 5 am. So now I have an appointment for a root canal this afternoon. Ugh.
Conversant is pretty powerful. Confusing at times, but powerful. I changed templates on this page, now I get a weblog editting form on my home page. Yay!
Welcome to my new conversant site. Ok, it’s actually an old site. I started this site a while back when looking into conversant, and here I am again!
I’m using Conversant’s builtin NNTP server to post this message. NNTP isn’t a complicated protocol, but it’s rare to see this level of integration in a Content Management System. Hats off to Seth Dillingham and Macrobyte Resources for their work and creativity.
Interesting conversation with “Jim Roepcke” about writing CMSes this morning on AIM. Lots of issues involved - more than most people realize.
