Featured Website Project: Word Salad Online: Part 1">Featured Website Project: Word Salad Online: Part 1
Published July 22, 2010 | 
">Bruce WhealtonI wanted to highlight and describe the things I’ve done with Word Salad Online, over the years, especially most recently. In my previous posting here, I mention that I recently installed and setup the Community Builder software which is an extension for Joomla – the software that is used to create Word Salad Online. Joomla is a Content Management System, a dynamic, database-driven application. We contrast that with static websites. In a static website, which is how I did websites years ago, I’d have to recreate Word Salad with each issue that we publish. I’d have to create a new website, 4 times per year, because we publish 4 times per year. Sure, it might look very similar in design but each issue is an entirely new website creation and publication.
With Joomla, I created one website years ago. The content, the articles, the poems, the images, everything, is stored in a database (actually a reference to the image is stored in the database). In a static website, it’s easy to lose content, or lose track of where it is. It is rather cumbersome to have 4 different websites with images and other design elements for each publication that comes out – again, this happens 4 times per year. Joomla makes this so much easier. The poems, the images, the design elements, are kept in one place, in one location. The software organizes this complexity quite well. When we come out with a new edition of the magazine, we just change the menu to display the links to the new set of poems that are part of the new edition, as it is released.
The overall look and feel, of the site in Joomla is controlled by Templates. This helps to create a very consistent look to the entire site. In the next article/posting, I’ll talk about how the templates are created and then move on to talk about Community Builder software.

Word Salad's Community Website">Word Salad's Community Website
Published July 20, 2010 | ">Bruce WhealtonI just installed and setup Community Builder on Word Salad. This tool allows our members to connect with one another. Community Builder is software, and it is an extension to the Joomla software that is used to create Word Salad Online. In a later posting, I will describe what all this means – what Joomla is and why I chose that.
I’d like to invite people to join the site and become a part of the community. If you are a poet or writer, or if you just appreciate such things, you are invited to join. If you have been published on Word Salad you may already have an account. You can then create a profile, with a bio statement and then upload a photo, you can add, if appropriate, where you have been published, any blogs that you have, and etc..
To do this, go to http://WordSaladPoetryMagazine.com/ and click on Login from the Member menu, or if you haven’t joined yet, then please register. After you confirm your email, if you are registering, you can then login. At this point you can go to Member Profile Details – Go here to setup your profile.
You can then connect with other members, most of whom, are poets and many may have been published at some point in the past.
Thanks,
Bruce Whealton, co-editor, publisher, web designer/developer.

July 18th, 2010 | Author: Bruce Whealton | EditI should talk about an update to my blog also. I’ll do that in my next post.
The Angel of Death – Poetry by Jean Jones
I just published a pdf version of this collection with three recent additions by Jean Jones to his long running collection of poetry. Jean had asked me over a week ago to do
this. Well, it’s finally available on Word Salad. You can find it by going here and then selecting it from the list. The heading to this paragraph has a link that goes right to the publication. It is in pdf format for printing or download. Perhaps there will be a second edition with more poems and maybe some kind of additional material.A New Look for Word Salad
Perhaps we even need a new name for the site… not really. The site is named Word Salad. We have a quarterly poetry publication called Word Salad Poetry Magazine (we also have a quarterly of Haiku called Haiku Ramblings). You will also find a few back issues of Word Salad Poetry Magazine in our archives. Actually, we only have the poetry from the past issues available. Much of the rest of the content was duplicated with each edition. Word Salad as a website is larger now. We publish much more on the website. As noted in the above paragraph, we have numerous poetry collections available on the site.
In addition, I see this as becoming a community site with various resources. I have installed a wiki, similar to what you see on wikipedia.org. I called it Wordopedia for Word Salad’s wiki. We just articles to be written for this. I’ve installed “Community Builder” to make the site into a “Community” website. Users can enter a fuller profile and many more features will be available for interacting with others. More on this later.
I have tried to include many of the exciting features of today’s Social Web. As a web designer/developer professional working today, I have to take advantage of all these resources and it only seems natural to share what I am learning.
For social image file sharing (sharing pictures) I use flickr.com and use that to host images that are displayed on Word Salad. My home page, as it were, on flickr is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brucewhealton/ and my profile on flickr is here: http://www.flickr.com/people/brucewhealton/.
