CSS Toolshed in the making
I finally got around to develop the scripts needed for the CSS toolshed. CSS what? Oh yeah, some may remember that I wanted to provide a means to simulate a CMS driven site to show that CSS can be used on an enterprise level, too.
Initially I meant to call that “CSS factory”:http://www.wait-till-i.com/index.php?p=97 but some people rightfully pointed out that factory has a negative connotation. Therefore I decided to go for CSS toolshed, to take the image of the Zen Garden a bit further.
In a nutshell, the CSS toolshed will be a site that:
- has three different templates (homepage, main section, detail section, meta page)
- has prepopulated navigation
- has a constantly changing content section – much like a CMS will have when the editors get their hand on it.
A “sneak preview with my dummy stylesheet”:http://icant.co.uk/cssfactory/showtime.php is now available and once I proved myself that the script works, I will need your contributions to make the thing work (clickthe link top right now that will show all the available styles). Have a click through the site to see the changes as they occur now, later on the content section will be populated with content filled building blocks “showcased in this collection”:http://icant.co.uk/cssfactory/buildingblocks.html.
Don’t fret, there will be documentation as to how the page is built, and how to participate.
