[NSP] Re: Websites - software to build same
Julia, why don't try to use Tiki Wiki, the Content Management System running at: http://www.northumbrianpipers.org.uk/NPS/tiki-custom_home.php ??? The CMS is already configured, waiting to be filled up with NSP (or any other) contents (text, images, multimedia). Open Source, no HTML or PHP to learn; just write pages and upload files. Very easy tutorials and documentation at: http://doc.tiki.org/HomePage BR/Valerio On Oct 24, 2010, at 7:46 PM, Julia Say wrote: Has anybody out there used CMS programs to build websites? Ideally I'm looking for a Which? Guide to CMS, with Best Buy, but I guess that's optimistic. I know the no substitute for learning HTML discussion off by heart, thank you, so please don't bother ( I don't have time), and from what I've seen I want nothing to do with Microsoft Frontpage, in any form. Constructive advice or warnings about specific programs all gratefully received, particularly if folk have had experience of several. Piping connection, well there's 9 of the things on our host site. I can stick a pin in a list, but.. Offlist, possibly, if it gets technical. Thanks Julia To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

The list won't accept attachments could be a reproduction from the late 1800s as two or three of the large GHB firms were making reproductions of Hugh Robertson's Border pipes. I'm not an expert on the chronology, but AFAIK Robertson half-longs were made in the 1920s-30s. If Jim was a Boys Brigade piper they may well be Robertsons.

The piper who taught the early NPS half long players, and made the pipes, was James Robertson, not Hugh. It may be the same firm, I don't know.
