Well, I’ve finally got drupal up and running (again, second time is a charm, correct?). It’s kind of bare bones at the moment – no portfolio, not much content, and the design is kind of funky.

Until IE becomes more standards compliant and all browsers began adhering strictly to the w3c coding standards, it will be nearly impossible to create one set of coding that renders beautifully across the various browsers.

So, I’m still investigating a CMS (Content Management System) for the libraries web editors. A CMS is just a easy way to get content onto the web, without having to do much in the way of design.
