My January project

[logical muse]

I've managed to get two sites up and running so far, and I'm gearing up for a big weekend to try and get back on track.

The two that you can see now are:

My blogging engine: www.jotik.com

A whimsy. Check it out, it's fun: www.thecorrectspellingis.com

Suggestion

You might want to take a look here:

Django makes it pretty easy to create dynamic sites with database backing. Might be useful in keeping up with your planned schedule.

The two sites look right up Django's alley. Since Django handles all the database stuff, you get to concentrate on the functionality.

The only catch is that you've got to work in Python.

Hi MortFurd,

Thanks, I already know about Django.

I've abandoned the project for now, unfortunately. I just have too much actual work to do! I wasn't anticipating it, but I'm not complaining.

I don't use Django or any other frameworks or code generators, as I have built my own. The database side of it is the easiest and quickest part for me; I end up spending more time just tweaking the design (even if it doesn't look like it!)

Here's a screenshot of one of the tools I've developed:

This tool is a web front-end to some applications I made that generate all the PHP, MySQL, CSS, XHTML, Javascript, and even some image files for my web sites.

For now, I'll just work on these sites whenever I have time. It's really more about making sure my tools work than launching these sites. I've already added many more features to some of my tools as a result of working on some of the sites this month.
