Freeflux.net
If anyone is interested, you can go over to freeflux.net and sign up for a CMS. Now don't tell me you don't know what a CMS is. It's like all those other things like mySql or php or drupal or any number of strange-sounding things that were only ever invented to make the common person feel like an idiot. It's a content management system'. When something says I can sign up for it and it's wonderful and it's FREE, I don't waste any time. I'm over >>here on it, and you will know, because of course it's bright green. I have also made a gravatar. Now don't tell me you don't know what a gravatar is! (like I didn't) It's a wee pic that follows you around the net wherever you sign in. If you comment on someone's blog, your wee gravatar shows up too. Then of course, all over the net, people can see you coming, and they say, oh god, there is that annoying Fiona and her stupid gravatar again! I also have made a friend at Freeflux named 'chegru' who helped me sort out a lot of stuff I couldn't understand. I'm sure he was one of the first to think the phrase 'annoying Fiona' over there. The site is in 2 different languages as well. I still don't have the hang of most of it, but it's been fun playing with it. I'm positive that now that I have a CMS, my life will get sorted and be in perfect order. I'm sure that's what was missing from my existence heretofore. Now that my content is managed, all I will have to worry about is getting some actual...content, but as we all know, this has always been a problem. But at least now I will be managed! |

(26.5.06 08:02) I was about to ask you what a CMS was, but then you told me! Now I know what it is (I think), can you tell me what the benefit of it is, please? (And please don't say 'The benefit of it is that it manages your content'!!) XX |

(26.5.06 11:19) What usually happens with these things is that when you first get them you are falling over yourself to find some contents to be put in to manage, but after a couple of days the whole thing becomes a chore. I could be only speaking for myself though... |

(26.5.06 19:25) Alan, I think CMS is just a fancy term for something like we have here--only there is some different space for storing files. If they just called it a blogging system, the professional type peeps wouldn't think it was good enough. >>Wikipedia stresses the collaborative aspects of CMS--like when an officeful of people want to create a project. Some CMSs have wikis with them. I'm sure there are other things that I don't know about because, as I mentioned, I was just messing about. Roy, very true, but if you have it, then when you find something worth sharing, it's all good. |
