BrooksPTO Side Project

I'm currently working on an upgrade to the BrooksPTO.org site.  Currently, it's a completely static site, with a CSS-based design and no tables.  XHTML compliant.

The design is supported by a few Dreamweaver templates, so theoretically it could support multiple authors without breaking the design.

However, I was never able to do that -- couldn't arrange the training knowledge-sharing meetings, and the authoring overhead has gotten to me. Last night Meryl asked me why the most recent Brooks Blue (weekly newletter) on the site is from 3 weeks ago. Sigh.

Anyway, v2.0 of the site will support multiple authors, so minor updates can be delegated. See the work-in-progress here. It's been interesting so far, a small exercise in content inventory and metadata design, with an eye to extreme simplicity and ease-of-authoring, using the typepad service.

More later on this.
