Testing out Adobe Contribute
10-Oct-07
So now it goes like this. HAHA. This contribute program is pretty hilariously a Dreamweaver webview without the design tools. Amazing. I have to admit it’s impressive at first glance how it magically creates a "template" of my "blog" and now I am writing a new "blog entry". Amazing. This blog stuff is really taking off.
I have to admit I was kinda surprised that the F.A.Q. on Adobe’s site says that it cannot update information in databases. But that it can utalize the MetaBlog API, I’m too lazy to check and see if thats what it is, xml-rpc that’s what it is, no matter what the API is called.
However I can edit flat HTML!!! In addition to editing info in my database through the MetaBlog API but that is starting to sound too nerdy so it’s no wonder they kind of left it as just a little note.
Why someone would use this software I’m not really sure. My first guess, is media. I’m betting they have some fancy wrappers for just about any type of media you can want to post. Once again the middle man makes the off with the cash. Maybe I should start a business writting middleware.
Anyhow, maybe Violette would like it if i showed her how easy this was and she could impress her boss.
