The only time we use paper is when we print it out for competition. We are able to use the blog feature of Drupal, and taxonomy (categories) to completely set up our engineering notebook.
The FTC site ( ) is the least advanced of them, but we only have three members. And enabling or disabling a feature on the site is usually a matter of a click or two.įor instance perhaps you only want Developers to format the site, but you want Mentors and Team Members to have be able to create content, and you want Moderators to be able to edit everyone’s posts, while simultaneously havng both private and public blogs and portions… Writing that is a pain from scratch, but in Drupal takes me about a day and a half to set up a new site from scratch. The best thing about a decent CMS (like Drupal or Joomla) is that it is substantially easy to give multiple people access to various different parts and pieces. I spent probably 300-400 hours on our site, and that was just to get it up and running, not counting updates. This year, I did about 95% of a completely new site by myself, and it just about killed me. CMS’s tend to facilitate the updating and creating process for you.Īlso, I would not recommend tackling any kind of website project without a team of people to help you. (and this is a big one) How much time you are willing to spendĪs a general rule, CMS sites take much less time and effort to maintain and create than a site that you made yourself. These CMS sites are relatively customizable, but not near the extent that a fully custom site is.ī. Some of the big ones are Drupal, like you mentioned, and Wordpress, which I would recommend. However, if you want to expend a significantly less amount of effort & time, I would recommend a CMS. If you want to create your site 100% from scratch (which is a ton of work) I would recommend using the Adobe design suite (if you have money to burn) or otherwise, use Burnmeister’s setup of M$ Paint and Notepad. What you should use to design and implement your website really depends on The first step is defining your goals, do you want a site up quickly and easily? Do you want to learn how the tools work?
GIMPSHOP MAKE UP HOW TO
Obviously if you want ABSOLUTE control over every aspect you should code the whole site from scratch using notepad or notepad ++ (or any plain text editor) If you just want to have a site up and running and be able to update it without worrying about how I would use either a hosted service or one of the aforementioned CMS.Īs for me, I use Visual Studio at work, we do a lot of vbscript (Im actually sad to admit that) At home I use Textmate (very nice Mac text editor) and am trying to learn how to do asp.net and c# using Visual Studio.ĭon’t be intimidated by people saying that REAL programmers use notepad (or butterflies) A REAL programmer uses the tool which allows them to most efficiently achieve their goals.
GIMPSHOP MAKE UP INSTALL
Some people insist on using Notepad, other people install a CMS, yet others use hosted services such as tumblr. Thanks, mucho appreciatedĪs with everything it depends on what you want it to do and how hard you want to work. Use your favorite text editor to open “~/.gimp-2.8/gimprc” or “~/.config/GIMP/2.10.” Add either or both of the following two lines, as you prefer.Hi everyone, I was wondering what program you all use for your websites? And if someone can help me explain the concept behind drupal. You can make GIMP snap layers to the canvas with a couple lines of configuration. Moving a layer, then, is much less exact. Snap to Canvas Edgeīy default, GIMP doesn’t snap layers to the canvas edge or grid lines by default. Click on “Edit,” then “Preferences.” Select “Tool Options” and finally, “Save Tool Options Now.” You can either restart or keep using it. In the right set of menus you’ll find the available options for the Move Tool. Select the Move Tool from the Toolbox window. That said, there is an option that you can use to make it behave more like Photoshop. The move tool in GIMP is similar to the one in Photoshop, but it isn’t exactly the same. These are simple things, but they can certainly go a long way in easing your transition to GIMP. There are a couple of additional features and tweaks that will make GIMP feel more like home.
