Content Management Systems

Wow, last class was packed full of information. I have my homework (or summer work) cut out for me. I would really, really like to have a CMS in place when the kids return next school year, but I have to do a lot of research before I can make that happen. This class as full of valuable information and now I have to decide what system to go with.

Paying for off site support seems like the easiest way to go, but on our tight budget paying an annual fee may not be in the budget. We are very fortunate and have a wonderful tech who maintains our server at a very reasonable rate, so maybe on site is best for us. I will have to talk to him and see what he thinks.

Even though I am feeling more confident in my html skills, I have a long way to go. There is so much to learn and remember! I so wish I would have been introduced to this earlier in my life, before the part of my brain that learns foreign language hadn't hardened over ;) And all this on top of my crazy life! The end of the school year teacher luncheon ended at 1:15 on Friday, I picked my cousin and her family up from the airport at 1:30. I had everyone over on Friday, the wedding was Saturday, we had 2 Fr's day celebrations on Sunday, everyone was back over on Monday to celebrate my birthday and our 25th wedding anniversary. Tom and I were able to have a few hours to ourselves on Tuesday for dinner and I kicked them all out of the house today so I could get my homework done! Not to mention that my allergies are in full swing and my meds are making me so soooo very sleepy.

With all said I do have a good start to my new webpage for the coming school year and can feel good about accomplishing that.
