I love this software called CityDesk by Fog Creek! It makes it easier for me to complete my blog and in a lot less time. Major Props! My weblog content management is now handled with Movable Type Currently managed with WordPress
It’s (CityDesk) sort of like a WYSIWYG type of content management software in the sense that it allows you to visually see the tree structure of your webpages Once I started into it, things started to fall into place design-wise very quickly. I spent quite a few hours testing and re-testing. Setting up templates. Previewing. Tweaking little bits and pieces of the HTML. Setting up the hierarchy for my blog. This may seem like a lot of work, but compared to how I was doing my blog this is well worth it. Plus gets me thinking of the future possibilities of future layouts and other ideas for project sites. A minor drawback is that there is no way to set up a comments section. Then again, there are some blogging company sites out there that don’t have it either. I’ll think of something. I usually end up spending up to 8 hours or more a day on my computer (offline) thinking of designs, layout, or other stuff.
FYI: There are 3 versions available of CityDesk: Starter Edition, Home Edition and Professional Edition. The Starter is free but can only handle 50 files total (pages and images combined).
In other news, I’m still waiting for Earthlink to contact me via e-mail on proper procedures to switch my domain setting on my website. I’ll try calling again if this takes too long. My safode.com, (Acronym for: silence always falls on deaf ears), expires in two months and I don’t plan to renew it. Besides some guy in Germany took the user name of “safode” on Yahoo. Must’ve happened earlier in 2001 I guess. Just when I was going to use that name to try auctioning off again on Yahoo… the name was taken! Wasn’t before. Oh, well. Doesn’t matter. I’ve had quite a few deadbeats and no sales when I used Yahoo Auctions. I think it is a poorly done site especially when you do a search on something and items listed in the search results have nothing to do with what you searched on. I’ll stick to eBay, thank you.
I had researched for using “safode” as a domain name for quite a while before I registered to see it there were any websites or what not that contained the phrase or word. Found none, so back in November 2000 I registered the name. The eklectik.com is my new domain name. I sort of come full circle with this one. “eklectik” was part of my original domain name when I was with Concentric’s Cnchost (now XO) back in 1998. Despite the corrupt spelling I feel I have more control over the name since it is a common word and everyone else can possess the name in some form… ?Comprende?
I have complete absolute control, but absolutely no complete control.
Unlike when I created a name not like any other but yet it became something to another. I wanted to be an individual in a herd but I’ll settle for a being in a herd full of individuals.
