Dale Lature: My Web Development

Finding cool litle tidbits and articles on using DWmx

Multiple Repeat Regions on the Same Page at Dreamweaver FAQ.com

gee, am I ever shocked, unless something bad has happened to David Siegel, I am perplexed at how he's dropped off the face of the earth, at least from scanning several pages of Google hits. Anybody Know anything?

In search of David Siegel comments on Weblogging. I thought it woudl be interesting to see if the guy who pointed me to Clutrain, who pointed me to Christopher Locke, who wrote a book called Gonzo Marketing which sold me on learning Weblogging, is himself a writer of a weblog.

So I will find some web developer posts along the way since Siegel wrote Creating Killer Web Sites, and every developer under the sun probably mentions his book.

for instance:

webmutant: a weblog for web developers

[Macro error: Can't evaluate the expression because the name "480" hasn't been defined.]

Another good book to add to my list of read books (and one which I have re-read, and actually "introduced" me to Cluetrain: Futurize Your Enterprise by David Siegel, who also wrote "Creating Killer Web Sites")
The book is a great example of some real-life possibilities of The Cluetrain concepts put to work Siegel is a Web developer who began finding that companies who need Websites were all oft all too eager to make websites without caring who their customers were. A high recommend for anybody who read Cluetrain (or not) and wants to take the next step to begin asking how actual Website projects allow the company to participate in the conversation.

Cool Blog on Dreamweaver MX Wishes - Nancy's BLOG

Radio Userland Feeds Found Lacking. Well, the results are in, and the outcome isn't looking too nice for Radio Userland feeds. I have quietly ranted about the poor quality of the Radio's RSS for a long time, but now, it is time for me to come out of the closet. Over half of headline it... [RSS Engine Blog]

I also work with a product called NXT (from the Company "Next Page" , formerly Folio Corp.) This product is a Web Server Product which runs on tiop of IIS, and serves up Folio infobases, which are document collections that are indexed and searchable, and we have used their product for our CD-ROM based publications for quite some time (probably since the beginnings of this department). They have recently started developing scripting support for many of the functions, which allow us to use ASP pages (and thus free us in our design from having to be too dependent on their out of the box look and feel....we can use our own, and just use some scripts to call some of the key functions (like a hitlist for a search, or bringing up one particular document from a hitlist)

For about a year now, I have been using Dreamweaver Ultradev 4/Fireworks Studio, and just recently upgraded to Macromedia MX Studio. I have yet to use or integrate Flash into anything I've done, but I've been very intrigued by what I'm reading about Flash Communication Server.(Macromedia - Designer & Developer : Flash Communication Server MX Application Development Center)

For starters, I hope this blog will help me to organize some of my thoughts and plans at work, and become a more thoughtful, encouraging, member of the team. Sometimes when you get a bunch of people together who are a mix of former IT people, former book editors, former Bookstore managers, and computer graphics designers, there is a lot of opinion that is hard to bring to consensus. My main job is to implement the chosen ideas.

I am a Web developer for a Religious Publisher. But don't let that scare you off (if things like that scare you), because I am not your typical religious person (whatever that is). I don't get offended by four letter words (since that would be VERY hypocritical), and I don't subscribe to a good portion of a lot of what you hear many Christians in the Media screaming about.

What I do like to explore and talk about is web development stuff. While I have a lot of ideas about how religious publishing and Web Development meet and relate to each other, that is something I will explore in the other (like Theoblogical) categories. Web Development is focused on the tools and my discoveries, problems, and hopefully, solutions.

The link to "Web Development" will lead you straight in to my frequent blogs on what I'm lookuing for, working on, and what I have found.

Curiouser and curiouser! an excellent looking blog and set of resources

Radio -- More Than a Blog Tool. Yeah, what Matt Mower said.
from [Blunt Force Trauma]

From a newly found blogger friend (he commented on a couple of my pleas for technical help posing as a blog:

Good Source for RSS News and Feeds. Jenny Levine at TSL points me to two great RSS info sources -- one that covers events and news in the growing RSS arena, and a new source for over 180 custom RSS feeds. [Blunt Force Trauma]

Here' s where I can dump stuff related to what I do, to "share the wealth" so to speak, if what I got can be considered valuable....oh, I suppose it could be to somebody......so here that is......I got yer' Web development stuff right here.......
