Online Semester 3 - Week 4

Today we looked at content management systems (CMS). We looked at systems like the Immediacy Editing Model that sets itself up as a database for users of the website to create posts for their website. This is something that can be used for large websites and can cost several thousands of pounds to create.

We also looked at the option of creating forums for users to interact with. Forums can be used as a way for users to discuss the website and content featured on the website. Some forum software is free and doesn't cost anything, though the higher quality forum software costs money to maintain and run.

Finally, we started to plan how we would manage our content on Techmole. Unfortunatly, only me and Mike were in class so we couldn't discuss any real progress on the development of Techmole, which was disappointing for both of us.
