Meathook Reality

Wow. It’s pretty amazing how many incredible websites there are out there, when you take into account just how hard programmers have made it. There have been several attempts to divorce conrent from layout, yet I still find that I need to hardcode a lot of things I would rather not. Microsoft half-assedly implemented transparent PNG support, which is not just causing me headache, but is changing some of the design of my site. The irony of all of this “not invented here” syndrome that is causing me to write my own content management and syndication, is that I’ve really done this several times before. My first real website was the “Church of Bruce Campbell", which I really put together just to test what was at the time the only really WYSISWYG editor: Microsoft FrontPage 1.0. Since then, I’ve kept it simple. There was much more written here, but I forgot to escape a ‘ and my SQL insert failed. Perhaps I need to write the page to do that, too. :)
