Had a great weekend working on jeffaBlogger.
As I said in my previous post I’m starting from the perspective of someone who just installed the software and wants to set up a website, so I’m going in from the configuration first.
Turns out jeffaBlogger is really jeffaCMS (Content Management System), but that doesn’t have the same ring to it. Plus I hate having to explain what CMS stands for every time I tell someone what it is.
The gist is that blogs are just one part of what it can do.
The organization is as follows:
The first two module types will be blog and gallery. A gallery is a photo gallery. The reason is that I plan to migrate http://funzietown.com to the jeffaBlogger as soon as it will support it. I’m guessing that is a couple weeks away at this rate (assuming nothing happens to slow me down…).
A webcomic site is really just a blog with a gallery at the top containing the actual comics.
Other module types will include things like pages, forums, polls, etc.
Evidently I’ve infected Alan Hecht with the blog-bug. We discussed it at the GGMUG meeting this past Thursday and he mentioned a blog post from Rob Conery titled “Be a Good Jedi: Build Your Own Blog”. I’ve posted a comment to that entry discussing my reasoning.
That’s it for now. I highly recommend both Alan and Rob’s blogs, so go read them!
