Im glad Heath started this thread. Maybe we need to identify what people don't like. When someone says "i dont like the blog"...is it just the nature of posts from Recent to old? When I first thought about posting video online, Peter Van Djick showed me how to blog because i didnt know how to code html. he recognized that it would be too difficult for me to code a website everytime I wanted to post a new video. That's why the blog as a CMS was so smart. Youtube is a CMS. all these videos sites we use are content management systems. I also have wanted more control of how things looked on my blog. I wish I could just drag and drop different elements on my blog in real time. I wish i wasnt hampered by "this is the sidebar"..."this is the header"...."this is the footer"... and to change any of this stuff, I have to go into the code to change it. I would love to have a CMS where I can overlap things, and rearrange content everyday just by dragging it around. Jay -- http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790
