This semester has been a killer. I haven&#8217;t had a lot of difficult work to do, but there has been so much of it that I don&#8217;t have much time for anything else. I finally got around to putting some a basic version of this site up. I&#8217;m now using a completely different approach. I&#8217;ve tried the straight HTML by hand, my own Content Management System (CMS), a professional CMS, doing it all via PHP, using an HTML editor, and now I&#8217;m trying something completely different. Use a set of metadata files to generate a set of HTML files for this site. This has several advantages. First, it&#8217;s all under my control, but a lot of the work is automated. All the navigation links and everything are generated automatically, which saves a ton of work. Also, I can customize the metadata with my own embelishments, further easing the pain. Finally, because I have to generate HTML files from the metadata files each time I make a change, it makes it easy to back up. Everytime I generate a new HTML file, I simply back up the old one in a zip file. Also, being a programmer, I like the concept of &#8220;Compile&#8221; and &#8220;Build.&#8221; So I log onto the admin side of this site and click the &#8220;Build&#8221; button and all updates are posted to the site. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow, I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s been almost 6 months since I last updated this site.
