So, I've finally gone live with a version of my web site published with CityDesk.

It took a little while longer than expected (about 5 hours with lots of playing), but still far less time than it has taken me to wrestle with PHP while trying to create what amounts to my own Content Management System. I've decided that writting a CMS from scratch isn't the best use of my time, I'm going to concentrate on what I enjoy and do best, database design and implementation. I enjoy creating solutions to problems that revolve around the capturing and manipulation of meaningful data, giving useful data to an organisation.
