Once  upon a time, about a year ago I started to redesign my this site.  I got off I thought anyway to a pretty good start.  I had tried several templates and mean while developed the beginnings of a content  management  system.  i finally settled on a template I found on the Open Web Design website.  It actually lined up very nice with my goals for the site and fit  nicely with the content management system I was envisioning.

In a pretty short time I had a good bit of at least the basics in place.  Unfortunately then life (mostly work) intruded, and  all the  work stopped.   I needed to find an editor (or write one) that would allow me to easily format summissions to the site with  out getting to  bogged down in the  details of writing the  HTML.  I had one that seemed nice but it had some cross browser functionality issues.   Since this didn't work out immediately, didn't have time to write one, and wasn't  finding one that  I liked searching for one it  became a  block to continuing the work given the limited time I had.  

Last week I finally found an online editor I liked that was LGPL code, perfect, and it does exactly what I needed without being a pain to use or setup. basically include into the page and it wraps the <textarea> elements  making them  WYSIWYG editor windows.  I have this implimented now.   

 Now that I have the editor in place it drove me to finish a few other elements so that articles could be submitted, and display properly.  This means that  I now also have the front page capable of doing what it was ment to do displaying the last few submitted articles.
