I find Mambo to be the best CMS that I have worked with. I can understand the confusion at first about leaning a temple, but once you know it well then it is easy. I have added comments to my template so I do not have to go looking for a needle in a haystack. I really like Mambo. It is fast and not overly cluttered like some php nuke site are with a gazillion modules that are not necessary. |

hi, i've found template for Mambo and it has XHTML that validates and gives only one error in CSS validating so far. Consider that i installed the latest Mambo self - also as they said is improved version ( snatched link to it in accessify forum), hope to dig up Mambo further to see all possibillities. ---------------------------------------- My blog ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by lm at Sep 12, 2005 8:40:41 AM] |

Dawg is back ... where have you been and how is the little one? Hey he is doing great, I am going out to buy his one year birthday gift today. He will be a year old on the 17. I spread myself kinda thin as I have many projects going but read here when I get a chance. BTW I did notice that you played around with Word Press. They are the only blog I really use and have installed many of them as well as done a few templates and added some mods to the dashboard. What do you think of WP so far? |

@Dawg, I am just getting into it, but so far I am impressed with what it can do and the architecture - the PHP folks are becoming more sophisticated with their programming. - I am now seeing the differences between a blog/cms and a message board and I am now a believer in the use of blogs for many web projects. Actually, I think that web design will soon be more about installing, customizing and configuring blogs and CMS for clients and less about building from scratch. Much in the same way that programmers don't create their own UI elements for Windows or Mac applications, web designers shouldn't have to fiddle with HTML and CSS code for common layouts and functionality. Web designers should only have to tweak things, perhaps create templates and do other things that leverage the infrastructure of a good CMS or blog. I've been talking about web templates for a while now, I see a blog/CMS as being both a visual and functionality based template - this is cool. CHANGES IN THE WEB DESIGN WORLD I see blogs and CMS's as being a 'platform' for web site development for the majority of websites. Soon it will be considered that building websites without the use of a blog / CMS (as its base,) will be like cutting down your own trees when you want to build a house - makes no sense. Professional web designer MUST pick a blog or CMS and become an expert at modifying, installing and configuring it. Those who get into that game now, will run circles around the competition who are still doing things from scratch. This old man of web design (that's me!) has finally opened his eyes to the future of web design - it's found in blogs and CMS. ---------------------------------------- Stefan Mischook Video Tutorial Store | Web Templates ---------------------------------------- [Edit 2 times, last edit by admin at Sep 9, 2005 12:33:04 PM] |

Oh we will always be needed to make the templates, otherwise all the CMS will look the same. You can easily spot PostNuke, Mambo and Plone. Spotting a QnECMS and to a lesser amount Drupal is harder. Some CMS/Blog lend themseles well to original designs in templates. Others like Mambo do not. The future belongs to those who can blend their own templates to standard CMS's. ---------------------------------------- Gu.aal kwsh� yak'�i it�akw ijeet wugood�k LSW-WebDesign.com |

@Dawg, Actually, I think that web design will soon be more about installing, customizing and configuring blogs and CMS for clients and less about building from scratch. . I sure hope you are wrong Stef! Fingers crossed that you are because I can install a blog with two clicks of the mouse and is rather simple. If you are right then any idiot with fingers can take over. I did this one yesterday and I have to do a decent header and background image but it is ready to go. http://hurricanekatrina.nvfc.us/ I really do like Word Press and am comfortable with the inner workings of it so I do not really stray away too much. Douglas Bowman from Stop Design has designed some great templates for Blogger but blogger is more static, only advantage with a static blog is if the server that has the database goes down a static blog may still be accessable. |

Hey Dawg, Not all websites will be suitable for a blog/cms software, but many will. With CMS you can now provide true business solutions right out of the box. I will be looking to define this more clearly in upcomming articles, podcast and videos. My goal is show people how they can put together really effective business offerings... I don't look at these changes (CMS and blogs,) in a bad way - I actually think it will just improve the overall quality of the Web and further separate the dabblers from the pros - at least in the short term. - I remember when WYSIWYG tools like Frontpage and Dreamweaver first came out, we hand-coders saw the end of our way of doing things ... it was a major change but in the end, the bar was raised. ---------------------------------------- Stefan Mischook Video Tutorial Store | Web Templates |
