I feel I must face a fact: I am bad with money. Well, not so much bad "with" it, since I actually behave quite rationally when I have a reliable source of income, but "without" it. What I mean is: I am kind of an idiot when I have little money and will buy things I shouldn't. I don't adapt! When I'm doing well I make sure to pay off my debts in

i too am horrible at adapting to negative changes in income. i empathise.

what kind of content management??? i need to set up some sort of streaming audio player for my website...

[aolianharp]

Content Managment Systems are applications that make updating, maintaining and modifying web sites really easy. They do stuff like manage databases and ensure that all the content is kept seperate from the structure.

I would recommend using Flash for streaming audio. There are a lot of examples out there that you could "borrow" and have a really easy audio streaming deal. Yeah.

you know it's funny, i work with an oracle point-in-time database at work, and i constantly have to pull sql reports with cognos impromptu or SQuirreL, but really i am pretty lame in my knowledge of databases - when it comes to content management. with respect to my own homepage, i do all my content management manually, with notepad (no databases here!). i'd love to be coding my sites in php or asp or java servlets or something, but i have no idea how, or what my service provider even includes (i rarely ever login to my web server admin panel).

i was reading a blog today that mentioned a problem i relate to - when using multiple third-party CMS for bookmarking / social tagging, etc., how do i reconcile the different methodologies used for taxonomies/metadata? e.g. del.icio.us uses "tag-bundling"; by contrast Spurl! uses a filetree system. if you export your spurl links to del.icio.us, the tags from spurl read in a file tree format (e.g. "homepages/blogs/photos") as ONE single tag exported to del.icio.us, rather than recognising if there are tag bundles with the same nomenclature as the spurl filefolders, and grouping them thusly (which would be really keen). so... ...how well does something like Drupal handle tag hierarchy taxonomy???

what CMS do you like? i hate joomla and love cms made simple

[aolianharp]

hi heidi!

i really like drupal and it's what i've been installing for people. i haven't worked with joomla so i can't really say how it would be any different than joomla, but drupal is pretty simple and really easy to expand in the cases where something more complicated is required. drupal.org

do you work CMSs a lot?

[mymove]

heya :) yeah i work with them a lot. "cms made simple" is what im using for my current project and it's rad.

how well does drupal do w/ accessibility?

hh.

[aolianharp]

oh, ha! i haven't even heard of that one.. i'll look it up!

a better breakdown on drupal's accessibility performance than i could say is here. basically you have complete control over the output via the themes, so it can be as accessible as you want to make it. i'm far from an expert on the subject of accesibility, though, so bear in mind that:

i did not just do that
