QUOTE: Originally posted by jfugate Yes, there can be a lot to setting up and maintaing a model layout web site. Being able to post more content to my site is one of the reasons I went with this new "Content Management" software. To post to my site before (anyone who has maintained web pages know the drill), I had to fire up the page editor, get all the content built, fire up the FTP program, upload all the content, take a look see, go back to the page editor, fix the glitches, reupload the changed pages, and take another look. Now I just browse to the site, log in, and browse to the page I want to change, click the edit link (which shows since I'm the page admin), make the changes in the browser, and save them. DONE. Want to add photos? After logging in, just click the upload image link on the page (since I'm the page admin), browse to the location where the image is on my local box, and click it. Whammo, zammo, image uploaded, with a mid-sized image created automatically that won't blast out the page load time, and an automatic thumbnail created as well. Then I just edit the page and drop in the image using the [img] bbcode on the page content (pick thumb or mid-size). The image gets an automatic click to see the full sized image included, no extra effort. In short, I did this all *because* I don't have as much time as I would like to fiddle-dink around with all the steps needed to make even a small change to my pages. Now I can edit any page directly with a few clicks. Much easier! [swg]
