After sitting on it for a while, the Center for Computational Biology at the University of Colorado has gone live with the website I built for them. I reused the graphics from their previous website, but migrated the whole thing to the TYPO3 content management system, adding WYSIWYG editing, user registration, a multiple mailing list subscription system, event calender, job postings, archived news, and a lot of little bells and whistles like automatic event notification mailings. I was able to use free extensions for TYPO3 for some of these things, and built my own extensions with others. Getting started with TYPO3 was tough, but I was impressed with what it could do, so I used it to build my mom’s site, and now I’m working on a new site for Old Town Yoga here in Fort Collins.

Yes, Dylan built my website and now it’s so easy to add to that I do so several times a week. It has proven to be one of my major therapies this past winter.
I looked at the yoga site….it doesn’t look like your work. I take it that is the site that you are replacing? It works ok, but I found that oriental type face readable but not inviting. I’ve been there, of course, and cheer them on!
Yes, that’s the current Old Town Yoga site! It will be getting a good face lift in addition to some TYPO3 content management goodies.
