CMS, Raw HTML

I realize it has been a while and you may have been wondering if I just abandoned you. Rest assured, I did not.

I told you starting The Cyberculturalist was part of a series of steps leading up to relaunching the site itself and so it was. I also told you things would slow down dramatically once the site got settled on its new host and I had to work on it, and so it has. What I did not tell you - because I did not expect it - was that it would slow down for this long.

Due to the breadth of the site and the sheer amount of information available, I tried using Blogger and traditional webpages of my own design to affect a sort of Content Management System approach to The Weirding. It did not work. Realizing this, I installed a couple of the CMS my host has available to me and gave them a shot. Unfortunately, like most freeware, the documentation is lacking and try though I might, I honestly cannot make heads nor tails of them.

Yes, yes, yes; I'm certain there is an extension, component, plugin, or whatever that will ease all my problems... amidst the thousands. Of course, I don't really know which one it is nor where to even begin looking, so I fear it's back to the old drawing board for me for now. It looks like I will be hand-coding every page (well I use a GUI, but you know what I mean), which means things will remain slow for the immediate future.

But as things start to fall into place, I will get back to posting more. Eventually, when things get to a suitable point, things will get back to normal.

Technical Difficulties

I know things slowed down here. I have not abandoned the department or anything, I just had a lot of work with the site the last few weeks. And it isn't done yet.

If you tried to access us over the weekend, you already know we were down. I'm not pointing fingers, I'll just say I did everything I needed to do last Monday...

Anyway, we're back up and going but I still have to get to the rest of the site, so I will still be away for a bit.
