The backend.  IE the content manegment system.  Maybe I read to much into your previous statment but I though you wanted to redo the look of your site and how it works.  If not then just ignore my posts.

So with what I'm doing now that would include:

Blurbs
Blog
news articles
other articles (you can define your own and seperate them)
Book pages
Modular Boxes (things on the side that have differnt content, advertisments on sites.  Sidebars would be another good tearm for them)

other things too

Oh -- sweet.  You can tell my lack of internet savvy by not knowing the term 'backend.'  Well, I know the term, but just not in an internet context.

yeah, keep in mind that a web site's back end isn't the same as your back side.

heh, no worries.  Right now EUOL and SE are my guinnie pigs with this.  Though I want to wait till I get further along since it's a pain to have to allwayse update multiple sites whenever I make a change in the system (which a do a lot), that's why SE's site isn't as far along as EUOL's.

So if your intrested that cool, if not it's no big deal.  Just haveing Tage customize your site to your needs is a good option.  With the way I'm doing my system there will be a lot of options that you'll need to customize to your needs yourself.  There will probaly be a longer wait on mine over haveing Tage make any changes.

Though I am trying to think of a name for the program.  The Blogger (wich is a sperate program and you can grab that at anytime once I've finished the arcive functions  it should be easy enough to install that you could do it yourself) is name Monkey Blogger, so I'm thinking of nameing the CMS Monkey Manager.  But I havein't decided yet.

I approve of those names, Sprig.

HoM:  Sprig's backend is great.  I've been very happy with the way it organizes my blog pages, and with how easy it is to update.

And whatever it is, I'm sure he put more work into his than I did into yours.

Book 2 is called Watermark.  I don't know about book 3 yet.  Plus, all that could change if the publisher doesn't like it.  'Awake' isn't the official title yet, either.


Okay. I was afraid the trilogy was going to be titled Awake, Arise, and Go Forth. Watermark is much better.

Both names for the blogger are great, Spring. I was born in the year of the monkey.

'Awake' comes from a scripture in the BoM:

Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you;
