The HandsomeWeb Blog

Our Simple Open Source WebPage management system passed another milestone. SourceForge recorded download number 3,250 recently. SOS Webpages is the fun and easy way to manage a website. It is an open source website management system developed by HandsomeWeb. The goal of the project is to produce a system that is intuitive for users without any knowledge or desire to learn about coding, image resizing, code compliance, browser compatibility, etc. It is an easy to use content management system.

Tinkering with this application I developed is what I do for fun.  There are plenty of people using the software to manage their websites, with a big following in the Netherlands (It translates to Dutch with one click.).  If you are handy in English and another language and would like to do the translation for me, let me know.  Note: This is an open source project, and I am not looking to pay someone to do this.

One of my earliest sites was for the Atlanta Community Development Corporation in Atlanta, Texas.  I just inserted a flash animation of some great photos of the lakes in the piney woods of northeast Texas.  I lived in Atlanta for a few years (just like Ellen DeGeneress, who lived in my neighborhood) in the 70’s.  Somehow, I’ve built a few sites for people in the community including (and some of these are old):

• CassConservancy.org
• AtlantaMillerGradeSchool.com
• NETexasMovies.com
• AtlantaTexas.org

I really enjoyed squeezing in the Flash animated flag on this site.  USA, United Students Association is a non-profit organization that places foreign students in homes and private schools in the US.  This is one of their sites.
