i need some people to test it… add and delete things at will. type in strange characters (\<,\>,/,?,=,-) not just “asdf”. here is the link - [CMS](http://www.givexblood.com/CMS) all comments and suggestions are welcome. I’m trying to make it more user friendly so this can really help me out. thank you 🙂 ---

hey it looks good and you obviously put alot of work into. heres some food for thought for you though for the section where you’re adding html. check out the wysiwyg editor [http://www.patrickphillips.net/resources/](http://www.patrickphillips.net/resources/) It can be modified to save to a database rather than just give you the html code. ---

Hey, converge, it is user friendly. If you’re making this web developers they know to put it \\ to make something bold and we can read that right. But normal end users get confused when they see html. So if you’re making it for end users…your body field should be editable with wysiwyg tools above to click on when someone selects some text they entered. Then the areas becomes bold as opposed to updated with the \ \ tag. This way they’re always previewing it as it will appear. The link i gave you is an html to flash preview, you’re trying to do it all in flash, very cool and my sympthies. I saw a flashkit movie like what i just described once where the whole thing was done in flash. sorry no link. good luck. ---

How about deleting older items? That is not integrated in this CMS isn’t it? ---

I saw a flashkit movie like what i just described once where the whole thing was done in flash. sorry no link. good luck. what you say makes sense. i added a “bold button” it needs some work but theres more to come. for some reason when you bold… it adds another line to the box instead of starting at the end point of the sentence. not sure if it’s a glitch in flash or a glitch in me. probably me. confusing is not a word I want to be used to describe this. As far as deleting **Yuki** you can delete anything you want in the preview boxes. the preview boxes show all previous posts. i guess i should label them. thanks everyone!
