Hi Mark:
Thanks for the thought
Your site
http://htlit.com/ is the similar to the type of configuration that I'm trying to build.
I decided on using a CMS (Expression Engine) so that I could reuse content as required.
Currently I'm working on using Tinderbox for two purposes:
- Provide a model of the site so that I've a map of how everything fits together.
- Act as the writing tool for producing new content.
In the existing paradigm I'm trying to understand how efficiently I can move content from Tinderbox to Expression Engine .
However, you make a good point that it might be possible to create the whole site in Tinderbox. I'll give that some more thought. (Note: I originally dismissed the idea of only using Tinderbox as my concept seemed too complex to implement in Tinderbox, which is say that I don't know that my programing skills are up to the job. Using a CMS and its tagging system seems to reduce the risk of continuing technical problems caused by poor programing.)
Can you point me to any existing tutorial/educational/help information regarding using Tinderbox as a CMS?
Thanks.
