History

Thebws started out as my first real foray into web design. I've been designing web pages since 1996, but in 1999 I decided to take the leap and move away from the free web host I was with (thanks to Tripod for giving me my first home) and register my own domain. I taught myself (x)HTML, Javascript, CSS and CGI/perl from many online resources, from books and from examining a lot of code and fiddling with it. Thebws has always been my testing ground. As I learned new things, I incorporated them into the site.

Long Search for A CMS Is Over!

I've been looking for my perfect content management system (CMS) for quite a while now. I've gone through about 6 or 7 and finally realized that a perfect solution doesn't exist. Instead, I recently stumbled upon Drupal, which is an open source CMS. It was recently given a CNet “Webware 100” award in the Publishing category. The way Drupal works really is a paradigm shift from all other CMS software that I've used. Once I grasped the concept, its been pretty easy to learn.
