Daily Thoughts 05/20/2012
I have been thinking a little bit about which systems I should learn. Publishers often use either Wordpress.org or Drupal for their content management system. Drupal is much harder to learn than Wordpress.org. I have an idea how the free, online wordpress.com works, but don't think it is powerful enough to build a large complex website.
I spent some time watching the update to Social Media Marketing with Facebook and Twitter on Lynda.com. Facebook redesigned their interface. It was helpful to understand the new timeline and analytics for Facebook. I still have to take the tour of the new Facebook. I also started learning a bit of Javascript on Codecademy. I am finding Javascript much harder than CSS.
