Websites in a database

So I was coding again all night...  My favorite habit!!...  I created a color-picker that stores the font color in the database.  Now I am thinking of all the possibilities for creating a website contained by the database and operated by a few small pages.  (  I have to give kudos to my roommate, he mentioned storing the pages in the database which gave way to the thought about alternate data stored for the pages instead of the whole thing.) Imagine providing the customer with the capability to restyle their site in a few clicks by uploading a new background, and picking a couple of colors! On their live, dynamic, ginormous website!  I may just be very new still to coding given its just over a year of the daily type, but that is the coolest thing ever!!  Plus, as an IT department my clients can rely on, anything I do not have to do for them is queen! More time for things like updating language as the updates to the world wide web inevitably happen.  My first dynamic site client is my friend, so we talk daily, she LOVES the idea!! Keeping backgrounds fresh with the seasons, quickly identifying team leads, managers, etc... in staff lists; she can even highlight big clients so their events stand out!  This is so exciting!! I am going to get back to playing with the idea and will post comments to this blog as I come up with info/encounter problems playing with this idea!!!

My coding day

Well I am finishing my first large dynamic site with staff, events, logged hrs, clients, etc...  Needless to say I have buttons everywhere.  Somehow for a series of about 18 pages I chose not to type style='display:inline;' and It took me much longer than it should have...far far too much longer... to figure out that was all that was missing! It made me giggle, which may just be from delirium, however I thought I would share anyways on the off chance it will make you laugh a little too!

Welcome to my Blog Space

Thank you for stopping by! I am just getting set up and linked to my site. Please stop back by often to read and hopefully comment about various topics about coding.  I will be discussing actual coding, where the trends seem to be heading to me, ideas to simplify complex issues, and anything really that comes up!  I am hoping to have some great bloggersations with you all in our future!!  Take care until then!
