]]> Comment on .Net CMS Roundup by Petr Passinger http://ryanburrell.com/2010/03/dot-net-cms-roundup/comment-page-1/#comment-1031 Petr Passinger Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:57:17 +0000 http://ryanburrell.com/?p=657#comment-1031 Thank you for article and let me comment on the following: "OMG SO MANY OPTIONS THERE ARE BUTTONS AND BOXES EVERYWHERE"... The great thing about Kentico is the UI personalization which allows you to easily enable/disable the items within UI for particular User Roles. Concerning the price - we also have a Free Edition that can be used even for commercial projects and lasts for lifetime. Of course 24/7 support is not available with the free edition and it has some limits on number of users/items in e-shop etc. Still it runs thousands of small commercial websites.

]]> Comment on Online Book Collections & Libraries: LibraryThing, Shelfari & Goodreads by Amanda http://ryanburrell.com/2009/01/online-book-collections-libraries-librarything-shelfari-goodreads/comment-page-1/#comment-1030 Amanda Fri, 23 Mar 2012 17:01:44 +0000 http://ryanburrell.com/?p=177#comment-1030 This article is a bit out of date now, and as I've never used Shelfari (because of their spamming and astroturfing), I can only speak to Goodreads (where I do have an account, that I hardly use), and to LibraryThing (where I have both a personal account and one for a university library collection I manage, and use every single day). Goodreads may be the more "social" of the two, but that's not why I use such sites, and I find LibraryThing to be far superior for collection management (both personal and professional), as the quality of the data is far better (no untrained "librarians" as on Goodreads). And by the way, I've found books easy to add when I search (Library of Congress first, Overcat as second choice) by ISBN.

They've made great strides in the last few years and the system is well received by all of our clients. I agree, it isn't for an entry developer but rather someone who knows how to assemble a framework / CMS to make it do what you want it to do. Once the templates have been configured and the system arranged as needed for the client, it runs like a tank. The newest version (5.1) does away with XLST in favor of MVC. We haven't dug into it yet, but it offers a bunch of promise. They have essentially re-written the entire CMS, that move kills off all the legacy code and having to force compatibility. Good review though. It's all about the right tool in the hands of the right developer. We’re a huge fan of Umbraco.

Whenever you save a bookmark, they store a copy of that page and all its content. If the site or page ever goes away, you still have a full copy of it.

As far as I'm aware, all ordering is done via the drag-and-drop interface in the widgets area of the WordPress admin. Width and Height settings on a per-widget basis are in the realm of CSS styling, unless you need specific classes or IDs, in which case you should probably look at more in-depth code changes for widget output.
