NovOf all content management systems, I think EE has to be best.
The age old problem for all web developers. Does a system exist that can manage my content efficiently, but does not confine me to a stylistic straight jacket?
As any web developer will tell you, making the decision to jump from static content to managed content has always been a pained one.
On the one hand there are enormous benefits from having control panel access to all of your editorial content. With a plethora of plugins and modules you can add just about any functionality you need to a system - so the benefits can be significant.
As any web developer will tell you, making the decision to jump from static content to managed content has always been a pained one.
But then there’s the cost. Not financial per se, but the time it’s going to take you to shoehorn your elegant design into some strangely constructed theme system.

Does my website look big in this?
28
NovYou’d be surprised just how different your website looks to other people.
According to the tome of all knowledge, Wikipedia - usability is defined as a term denoting the ease with which people can employ a particular tool, or other man made object to achieve a particular goal.

I recently realised what I always assumed was simple is made incredibly complex by the myriad of implementations user agents have for CSS quoting.
According to CSS2, adding quote marks to any blockquote automatically, should be pain free. The spec handles it in such a way as to be entirely language independent - negating hard coded quote marks and allowing simple style sheet changes.
It would appear there’s nothing really simple about it at all however. So, standing on the shoulders of giants I did some searching and found a great explanation, and functioning code on David’s Kitchen.
I would heartily advise your read the full article to understand what’s happening but for those impatient developer’s out there, as we all are - click read more for an easy to drop in code sample.
