I “finished” the new version of the A Different Kind of Cop website yesterday (finished is in quotes because, while it’s ready for prime-time, it’s never actually totally complete).
I’m using Pivot as the backend (it runs on flat-files instead of MySQL). Pivot was created as a blogging tool, but I’m using it more like a CMS (Content Management System). I can’t say that it was the easiest way to do it — I mean, Pivot is easy (very easy), but it’s not really a CMS yet — but now that it is finished, it seems to be functioning as if well-oiled (and updating it with Pivot is a snap!).
Most of the content is there, but it still needs some graphical embelishment and mp3s… Actually, though I’m not totally into begging for money on this site, donating some to me would allow me to purchase Andromeda ($125 US) — a way to elegantly implement mp3s on the site.
Go ahead. You’ll feel really good about yourself and be permantly added to the “Friends” list on the site…But, anyway, check out the new site and let me know what you think.
