Meryl's Notes Blog

Another content management system joins the crowd to give others a little competition. Biz Stone introduces WebCrimson at WebReview. I happened to be reading the article in Netscape 6.2, which is impressive so far, and clicked to check out the WebCrimson demo. Guess what? Netscape 6.2 is not a valid browser for viewing the WYSIWYG according the the message, "Your current browser does not support rich-text (WYSIWYG) editing. Unfortunately, Macintosh and Netscape browsers do not yet support WYSIWYG editing. As soon as these browsers get up to speed, we will add WYSIWYG editing support for them."

I’ll let you think about that for a little bit… curse all you want unless you’re on Bill’s payroll. I switched over to M$ IE 5.5 and it worked fine, of course. Despite turning off many of you at this point, I’ll go ahead and let you know it uses XSLT and has the ability to syndicate with RSS. Looking at WebCrimson’s product support page looks like a cross between a pyramid scheme and spam. P.S. It costs $19.95 a month. Boy, I’d love to hear what you think of this. E-me: meryl@onramp.net.
