Rodent Regatta

You’ve probably noted the near total focus on CSS, web design, Movable Type and XHTML coding recently. (To those I often link to but have neglected lately, I apologize.)

I’m in the midst of an important project, and I simply must learn how to use Movable Type well to maintain web sites. I wish I knew of a tool that handles ecommerce sites as well as Movable Type handles content management. I need to be able to provide web-based registration and purchasing via credit cards with all the appropriate auto-responders. I’m clueless as to which tools or resources I’m supposed to be using. That’s not my point though.

During this crash course, the folks at Lockergnome got frustrated, abandoned web standards, got pasted with (virtual) rotten tomatoes and returned to standards. The story, all of its pieces and the happy ending can be found at Matthew Mullenweg’s Photo Matt.

I’ll return to a more balanced look at the Rat Race once I get the ecommerce stuff figured out and launched.
