-CMS

A Content Management System(CMS) is an online system that manages the content of a website. Content such as: texts, pictures, audio and computer files can be uploaded, viewed, controlled, organized and eventually published on a website.

Well about a whole week I was busy following a 183 paged tutorial about a CMS, Joomla to be exactly. First I had to install PHP on my website otherwise I can't view or install the files needed for a CMS then I installed MySql which is a DataBaseManagementSystem for setting up a DataBase on my site which is also needed for a CMS. A Database is a structured collection of data that easily can be viewed, saved, changed or deleted.

Anyways, after installing all this I started to slowly install and then learn and test things with the actual CMS. After following the tutorial for setting up a CMS and what you can do with it I already tested the standard content in a standard template.

The next step was to make a template for the website with special bits of codes for Joomla to recognize in PHP, which I also hardly had learned. In the end this all went good but I had one problem because most parts of my sites are flash parts that calls for XML files to show the content and I can't change the XML files in the CMS, I asked Frank for help with this and he knew a PHP script which can solve this and how it could be solved.

In the meantime I can slowly go further building up the actual site.

-Website Status

Last week I started with slowly putting things together for the website, because I have all kinds of media that has to be in the site, this isn’t going to be an easy job.

The banner is made as a video and the menu has to overlap this video, under these two things you'll have to see the banner as a picture while the video loads, this usual takes about a small second so I choose to not make a preloader but I used a small picture instead.

You can see the website the way it is now at:
