This is goign to be a mix between a personal plea for help and a lament for all writers int he world who are frusturated about web publishing.
In addition to the other things I dabble in I write a little. nothing extrodinary mind you but decent enough that I'd like to include it on my personal website. Now it's important to understand that I redesign my personal website ever few years and that in between updates are few and far between. In an effort to correc this I found a free hosting company that enables PHP and gathered a couple of content managment scripts scripts for my next big redesign.Now I'm a fair hand with programming for web, I can do my own javascript for the most part and most things in PHP are alright too as long as I'm just editing an existing script. One frustration I ran into was that I couldn't find any
really good CMS scripts for poetry.
I tried using some of the ones for news but they didn't meet my requirements. I needed to be able to post, edit and control, new poems through an admin interface to save time, I needed to be able to back-up my database, and I needed to be able to sort by genre, general time periods (MS, HS, recent) and to sort alphabetically. If anyone out here knows of one that would be awesome. If your willing to write one then I'm happy to trade a graphical website layout (check out my portfolio
kwarnerdesign.com )for the script. After all could one of the people who writes yet another image gallery script not divert there efforts into a much needed and lacking are?
