Move to MovableType
OK. Firstly, please know up front, that this site is probably NOT going to act as expected for a few days, possibly a few weeks. I’ve decided to use the venerable MovableType as a front end to the site.
It all began with Eva’s upcoming trip to Europe and Andy’s desire to start posting his own photos to the web in an easy fashion. Unfortunately, my photo (media) engine is a bit specifically tailored to my needs, and I really don’t have the time to make it generic. So, I began to do some research to identify the simplest, most stylish way for Eva to easily update her friends in regards to her European travels. The search initially began for something PHP/MySQL based, my personal tools of choice. Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything that was using that technology to be as slick, professional and impressive as MovableType. I’m quite intrigued by MovableType, their community and their pricing, and therefore will save further discussion regarding that for a later date.
SO…. in the meantime, I’m going to incorporate my photo/media engine with the MovableType engine and see what I can come up with, so patience is appreciated…. but let’s be realistic… it’s not like you’re all banging down my door…
