Contentor CMS / News: Recent posts

I have been using Contentor in my Day Job, doing development in the evenings and weekends. Our systems administrator (of 14 years) left for a job in Florida, so my life has been a bit hectic lately.

I'm getting close to an overhaul to make Contentor compatible with PHP 5. I used a lot of (sloppy) code that was only PHP 4 compatible - didn't declare/mark constants properly, etc. I'm also incorporating changes to make it SuExec-compatible.

The main Contentor site at http://contentor.net/ is moving to a new server. LinkStream.net has been having technical problems - four outages of greater than 8 hours in the past two months, with nary an apology, explanation or response to my service tickets.

I'll be back up and running in a day or two....

http://contentor.net is now settled in on a new server with very little problem. The previous home on FeaturePrice.com completely fell apart. Thanks to http://LinkStream.net for such great hosting!

This week, both http://nwuuc.org and http://VSAartsGA.org have been launched!! Both of these replace more traditioanl web sites that required a webmaster - now both organizations have complete control over their web content.

The http://contentor.net site is moving to a new server ASAP - please bear with the problems a the old hosting company.

The project web site is now emerging at http://contentor.net/ - including a live demo section.
