Sorry for the rename, I think we're getting off the original subject though... One caveat to your description Mark... Not all CMS's support or require editing through the browser (or even necessarily refer to websites, but that's a different issue). Macromedia makes a product called Contribute which is an offline CMS. Also, a number of Blog software packages support editing through external applications like w.Bloggar which run on your system, I'm sure other CMS's support this kind of interface as well. -Dan -----Original Message----- From: hidden-discuss-bounces at lists.hidden-tech.net [mailto:hidden-discuss-bounces at lists.hidden-tech.net] On Behalf Of Mark Bucciarelli Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 3:01 PM Cc: hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net Subject: Re: [Hidden-tech] Looking for reasonable Web host ** Be a Good Dobee and help the group ** by filling out the survey/skills ** inventory in the member's area. ** Remember you must be counted to post .

Typically, the web site admin can define user/password login accounts for people that are allowed to edit the site. Many systems provide control over editing capabilities; for example, your press agent login can only edit pages under http://yoursite.com//news. More advanced systems allow you to define roles by login account; for example, "contributor" and "editor". A contributor may upload content, but that content is not made live on your site until an editor approves it. This site is great: http://www.opensourcecms.com/ They have free on-line demos for many many Free Software content managment systems; for example, the WordPress demo is here: http://www.opensourcecms.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=144 Regards, Mark _______________________________________________ Hidden-discuss mailing list - home page: http://www.hidden-tech.net Hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net You are receiving this because you are on the Hidden-Tech Discussion list.
