New Web Site

Brett Kapilik
Thursday, October 31, 2002

Every geek likes to play with new technological toys and I am no exception.  I am always on the hunt for the latest and greatest pieces of software and technology.  When it comes to this Web site I have used straight HTML, FrontPage, PHP and other assorted tools over the years.  The newest tool I am trying out it CityDesk by Fog Creek Software.

CityDesk is a content management system.  What that means is that it makes it easy to focus on the content of your Web site (that is articles, news, or whatever) instead of getting caught up in all of the technical details.  Not that I mind technical details, its just that when it comes to maintaining a Web site I find it just doesn't get done as much as I would like when it is too cumbersome of a job.  I would rather spend my brain cycles thinking up new ideas or programming or reading Lord of the Rings.

Well, you get the idea.  Anyhow, hats off to Joel and Fog Creek for making a great piece of software!
