Organizing Information

We all have them; snippets of code, half-written tutorials, cooking recipes, photo galleries, blogs, information about a project or event, and the list goes on. Information can take many forms. Writing a book? Have a document you want the world to be able to access? Wouldn't it be nice to have a central location for all of these things and have them all conform to a common appearance? Or, better yet, a central location where several authors can collaborate on these items?

Designing a website can be a daunting task. There are many tools available for this task with content management systems being a favorite these days. I began designing websites by writing the html code in a text editor many years ago, and using a web page designer can speed this process up, but there is a better way.
