Remember, remeber, the Third of September,
The night which changes everything
The age of Rich Text Editing.

A few hours ago, I decided to dissect WordPress. After being stuck with paperwork for the past 2 weeks, I was more than willing to tackle any kind of technical job that can come my way.

Actually it’s more of a configuration rather than something technical. Though I don’t mind however we call it - whatever gets monotype fonts and Dreamweaver back to my blood stream is good. Nonetheless, allow me to share one of the happiest moments of my programming career.

You see, for the longest time, I’ve been deploying online Content Mangement Systems (i.e. blog) with my own html text upload form. Yes, that’s the primitive <input type=”textarea”>. It’s simple, elegant, it works, but I must admit, it sucks. After three years of putting up with such limitation, I decided to see tonight how WordPress can help me.

15 minutes into the Wordpress documentation, I was already publishing WP-created content in my web pages! Mwahahahaha!

Goodbye “To have text in bold, enclose the text in <B></B> tags!”
Hello user-friendly image and text uploading!

Goodbye basic html textareas!
Hello rich text editing!

Goodbye hours of customizing CMS!
Hello hours of getting to do more!

I love WordPress. This discovery greatly improves my ability to deliver products and services the way my customers want it.

Para sa isang taong katulad ko na nakakakaintindi lang ng 8-pack crayola colors, purple is equal to pink or violet. pero pink ung unang pumasok sa utak ko. hehehe, maybe PURPLyana has to do something with it…

mas naaalala ko ung mendi-something. hahaha :D mabuhay ang pindot bangkay!
