Introduction

If you have a few webpages you maintain, something like Dreamweaver is good enough. But once you get to a couple -hundred- tutorials/projects/documents with multiple collaborators you have to take a good hard look at how you manage content. Around this time, most people end up using something like Drupal or another Content Management System (CMS). I'm sort of an old skooler - I like the idea of CMS but I hate the look of 'em. They all have this kinda gross 'man page' look. Very utilitarian but not particularly easy to navigate.

Since I already had a lot of content in raw HTML, I wanted to move it all over without a lot of nonsense. I like the idea of a wiki but dont want it to be too obviously a wiki. Blogs are good but too temporal, and it isnt easy to collaborate on a single post. I don't want comments on tutorials, but I'm OK with people making minor text corrections.There's probably some awesome solution to all this but well I couldnt figure out so I decided to go with a wiki backend to a Dreamweaver template. Its not going to be what we use forever but its a pretty good start.
