Plone Magic!

Posted on July 23, 2006 by
plone magic!

I’m at “Plone Magic Camp” this weekend to learn about the Plone content management system, programming and designing in Plone. (For web geeks: Plone is an open source CMS built on top of the Zope framework which is written in the Python programming language.) Going to “Magic Camp” I was hoping to get a wand or a floppy hat, but alas all I got was a tee-shirt.

I have dabbled with Plone in the past, building an earlier version of my website in Plone, as well as launching a community-populable calendar for the United Nations NGO community. It’s pretty easy to work with even for a dummy like me, which you can skin and customize without too many headaches. However I’m no programmer or scripter, so everytime some Plone product I was using broke I was generally in the dark about how to proceed. So this year I switched to the less powerful but virtually bug-free Typepad service.

Being here I realize that I really need to learn CSS, since that skill will apply across whatever CMS or web platform I have to work with in the future.
