It’s an incomplete paper, but it’s so good it’s a B+. I’m working on bringing the blog closer into integration the rest of Subject Oriented. Here’s the latest: Index 2. I’m working on this from a function then form approach. I get something to work “mostly right”, then I spread that out to the places it needs to be, later I make sure things are more deeply integrated properly. It’s work in stages, but it’s better than work from Stooges. The idea is ultimately to sort of force this thing to deliver content to other pages. I’m not sure if the best approach is XML, RSS or just standard PHP Database queries. You can see that earlier I used a SSI/PHP hybrid to deliver the content. That’s a pretty server heavy thing to do I expect, so I’m going to try and create mini syndication at home in the right way.
What I want is to create content in one place–The wordpress interface, or even some other interface, maybe a client side app–and then for Other sections particularly the articles and projects sections to pull content from the database upon query. This is commonly called content management, I believe. It is properly done with any one of already well developed and existing packages. But you see this is a learning exercise. I’m LEARNING.
If you have suggestions on improving my learning experience, comment.
Not only did the blog get integrated, actually months ago, but just days ago, on my lunch break I upgraded to wordpress 1.5. I haven’t actually used it that much, but I’m learning.
