Re: More stupid basic questions

Hello Captain,

I have a question I'll bet lots of newer developers out there in list land
are dying to know Mz. Lauri:

*Why* ?
It seems like two versions of the same content is an awful lot of work.
/.../

Getting sarcastic, huh? :-)

First of all, you're not required to do 2 versions of your site, I just do
it (I can write it off as 'going the extra mile for the client'). I like
people who think themselves so I won't push it on you :-)

I try to make my sites accessible to EVERYBODY (including people on
different platforms, different browsers, visually disabled people and so
on). What can I say, it's me :-)

Besides it isn't THAT hard of a work to make 2 versions of a site. The plain
version will be simple (and I mean simple :-)). All I have to do is make a
simple template and then it's pretty much cut&paste. I also use a lot of
programs to make the boring work for me. I like Claymore Brute Force myself,
it can automate a lot of work (at least in the by using Notepad).

I guess making 2 versions of a site would be easier using database
technology, but I haven't gotten myself to look into it, yet. If somebody
would happen to know any good tutorials, reference tables etc concerning
databases then I would be interested in getting my hands on it. BTW, I don't
have any previous programming experienc :-(

See ya :-)


Best wishes,
