Well, I started faffing about with what was intended to be a small ‘re-align’ or whatever, now it’s turning into a ghastly mess with content flailing wildly all over the place and background images wandering off without any intention of returning to a sensible or desired location.

It’s all gone Pete Tong. I hate the set up of page templates which are stored in a CMS database field, and the same goes for the CSS, that sucks too. It just teases me into toying and tweaking live, on the trot, until disaster strikes, then I realise it’s a year or so since I did a backup of my CSS, and the page templates well forget it, those changes are lost for good. No handy little tab to roll back to the previous version, no sir!

It’s like 1 step forward, 2 steps back.., great I can manage my content from anywhere in the world, my pages are made up of neat little re-usable snippets of code and my CSS is served by a clever little call to a PHP page, but the interface for editing it all, it stinks… I can’t have code colouring like I can in a text editor, and heaven forbid if I should want to ‘tab’ a line of code in a few spaces.

Bah, I’ve had it, it’s ghastly, it’s horrible, is there not a CMS out there which is designed around storing my templates, snippets and CSS in the normal manner, in a simple physical folder.

Rant off.
