today's blog is is a huge thank you to all the people that make it possible for me to get even the tiniest bit of work done in a day. Yes, you know who you are, I'm always asking you for something, advice or just plain old help. thanks to you today I was able to make lots of progress on my work, getting a clients contact form functional, to fixing up an i-frame to not look so bad to adding a new editor to the the backend, and a few other things i have not even mentioned. thanks for helping make my adventures a little less emo.

today I worked more on, and just about finished the admin backend layout and style I have been working on. Worked with another designer to add in a different open source WYSIWYG editor because tinyMCE is really not exactly what we need. We added the MarkItUp Textile Editor. I like the look of it, and though I don't know all the differences I don't see how it could not be a ton better. I am told that the code it writes is a lot cleaner. The easy availability of inline styles is one of my huge issues with tinymce. We have already added the Markitup editor, I guess the textile plugin is just one of a number if plugins for the editor. Its not cooporating right now with my efforts to make it work, but that does not change the fact that it looks really neat. I like that it gives you a view of a layout view, that will comfort our wysiwyg lovers since you can see the results as they would look once rendered by a browser. It reminds me a lot of my favorite text editor E text editor (like textmate for mac) .
