More and more clients provide us with MS Word .doc format file documents to go up on their websites. Sort of deja vu. Makes me remember the ole days of the ’90s when web mastering meant hand coding content into plain html files and ftp-ing them up to the server.
Today we’re so much addicted to web2.0 with our Joomla! CMS installed sites and Wordpress blog systems. Offering the client a backend/frontend administration interface that she is able to access via her browser. Simple and elegant. Somehow like using MS Word by remote. Yes, can’t remember how many times a day I have to repeat this phrase. So writing yet another blog about it. Will focus mainly on the Joomla CMS document writing because Wordpress blogging is such a no-brainer anyway…
Ms. and Mr. Client,
You’ve already got the link to www.yoursite.com - that one hosted on moonkah.net, right. Go login. Notice in the ‘User Menu’ there’s a link leading you to an edit/write article page. Click on it and you’re watching your new online clone of MS Word. Joomla Content Management is using AJAX technology (soooo… fashionable web2.0) to provide online users -with appropriate rights- the ability to create, edit and publish rich format documents, including text, images and videos. The thing is called TinyMCE WYSIWYG Editor - aka. ‘little MS Word-like what you see is what you get editor’.
When you plan to leave paper behind (forget about Gmail Paper, we’re already in April) then you gotta get accustomed with TinyMCE instead of MS Word, because it brings your data (texts, images, charts, videos, podcasts) up to the world (wide web) right after you’ve checked ‘Publish’ and clicked ‘Save’.

Spam and phishing infestation is not restricted to home users’ poorly protected computers running Windows. Common wisdom says these are making a reap harvest for the malicious code writers. Yet a recent study published by The Register indicates that corporate America is another victim of this phenomenon. Zombie machines inside Oracle’s or HP’s networks were […]

It’s been such an old hat to blog again (and again) about the super dooper advantages of getting your software out of the box. Many IT advising bloggers waste efforts to convince business owners of the superiority of OSS (Open Source Software) compared to proprietary solutions. And most of times, business owners will look down […]

Faye is painting and moving the office to a new building. The old one nearby, serving CADTEk since 1992, is also getting a facelift (big time renovating, painting, redecorating, etc.) and will shortly open with a ’surprise’ shop, shhh…
All nice and happy, but what’s that having to do with spamming, phishing and net crimes? Not […]

Doh, three weeks to catch up, here we go:
1. Simple Joomla/VirtueMart routines
Three new Joomla installs in a weektime. I see nothing challenging with this state-of-the-art CMS. Unless you have to integrate a shop data base of several thousands items that relate through several… tens of thousands categories, mostly redundant on items. The challenge, as […]

1. Bare bones mailouts
Windows Vista is gradually taking hold of the casual desktop or laptop. It brings quite a heap of surprises at the graphic user interface level and less improvements down inside at the security level. One noticeable issue has already grown in a scandal of sorts concerning the Outlook 2007 HTML rendering […]

Wrapping up another busy week. Monday finally got the GO to rebuild a 4 year old website we did in 2003. The customer is so content with it. “Why upgrade? It looks OK, just do this content updates here and there once in a while.” All our talking about internet security hazards went plainly […]

All it takes is writing the correct URL in Internet Explorer and making sure to click that checkbox for Web Folders. Here’s the setup ‘how-to’ on Moonkah.Extranets: Web Folders for Storage, Sharing and Backups. […]

Faye pinged at me with a mail about doing a ‘web page’ for a new client. When I use to hear the words ‘web page’ referring to the action of building a web site, then I tell myself we’re on for a new round of web-ABC. So here we go:
Definitions of web-page on the Web:
