Years ago, I started tinkering with dynamic site content. In the distant, murky past, there was NewsPro; an cgi-based script that was pretty much unsupported. In an effort to provide the ability for some organizations to update job listings and such, I began a journey that included early blog software... which quickly became almost impenetrable and hard to customize.

The HbG CMS is designed for small-to medium sites, and has grown organically over the years to meet the requests and needs of my clients. It‘s PHP powered, and based on flat files rather than a database, though I have integrated databases into specific sites.

It continues to grow today. I can hear it calling... "Feed me, Seymour!"

The engine of cmSlate is designed to let you concentrate on your message, rather that how to present it. The overall look-and-feel is set up in the initial design process as a conversation between you and me.

All Images (well, most of them) are displayed using FancyBox code. This keeps the page html lean, and provides the cool expanding built-in slideshows we have come to love.

You can have your own watermark to overlay your images, if you like. Use an image with a white or black background, and the background will disappear. The remainder of the image will be made translucent.

The watermark image name, the location of the watermark all can be set in the site preferences.The color to be transparent is a little trickier, and needs to be set up by the webguy.
