Website Offer, and some rambling on Walnut

Well, that would be silly.  I work for one of many companies that creates sites for people with the very specific intent that the client becomes able to manage the site (sans major updates) completely on their own with no programming knowledge.

This has been popular since like 2001 or something.  It's nothing new, a covered problem.

In any case, it's holding onto everything and wanting to be able to pick things up on any aspect that would limit D.  Sometimes you have to trust other people, and do things in a standard enough way that you won't deep fry if your trust is misplaced.

Sorry if I just keep repeating that....
