Giving in to design

17 January 05

And so, I have given in. I admit it. I can't design a website. I'm a webmaster of a college and I can't design a website. So, I'm throwing in the towel. I've given up trying to compete with the likes of Hicks and Moll.

For months, I've had so much to say and offer the web community (I believe anyway), and no way to say it. I was scared to put up a website in fear of being shunned by the web design community. Not anymore.

So, with this website comes a space to add my thoughts and give back to those that have helped me on my journey to becoming a web developer. The site is currently powered by Textpattern but I'll be moving away from it as fast as I can (more on this later). Otherwise, good ol' fashion XHTML and CSS keeps this site going.

Keep an eye on this space, if you will. I'll be sure to post an article (or many) on Lenya, of which I mentioned briefly on Moll's site. I also have some basic things on Apache configuration that I don't think is tutorialized clearly anywhere.

That's one New Year's resolution to check off the list...

From your career advisor friend, never say you can’t do something! You can and you have. You are your own worst critic! Everyone go to http://sophomore.hiram.edu and see what I mean.

Hi,
If there is any helpful documentation on getting started with Lenya could someone please post it? And no the Lenya whole document does not help and the wiki only helps a little. If there is a place that has a simple walkthrough on how to create your first Lenya publication from start to finish that would be great. Not just adding a page to a publication that is already created, as in the Lenya tutorial. Also if there is a tutorial that can teach someone how the content management works and how to get Lenya to manage my content that would be great. Basically I am new to Lenya and cocoon but not ignorant of programming a little help to get me started is what I really need thanks.
