I now use Alan Little’s fantastic Phorm 3.0 to create forms for user feedback and enquiries. This software uses PHP to email the contents of a filled form on an HTML page. The documentation is comprehensive and easy to understand.

John Coumbe (CodeBurger) pointed this out to me: Basecamp is an online project management tool which I am trialing.
I am using it for the management of the updating of this very web site.

I’ve taken a few days to re-build pagetoscreen.net and get rid of tables where possible. This page validates to XHTML Transitional OK, but I still have some old blog entries which are without their alt tags for the images. pMachine provides no easy way to go back and correct this. I have been through and edited some but I guess the best way would be to to some global search and replace in the mySQL database.

Today I am at the eLearning conference, hosted by my university.
We are told that ‘e’ is for embedding and enhancing and so the day is less about the technology more about the pedagogies for eLearning. Matt Justice, who works at the Ryerson University, Canada told us the the ‘e’ is for evolution. ‘e’ is also for enabling according to George Roberts.
The diversity of presentations through the day made me think that ‘e’ is not for easy!

I often observe that web site addresses are published in print and there seems to be little consistency in the way people do it! I thought I should investigate the minimum web address that needs to be indicated to get a successful hit on a web page. Most people would be happy with http://www.someplace.com and all browsers will add the http:// on to this automatically. Do we really need to show the cryptic "http://" ?
This web site is a kind of depository for all the things about getting stuff onto the web.
