The previous topic about end users hacking up a web page brought back something I was thinking about a long time ago. Is there a such software that allows website owners to only edit the text content of their pages without messing up the layout or graphics? I could imagine a stand alone program with ftp built in that only allows users to edit the text portion of their website, probably designated by certain tags. Thoughts...? Does it already exist?
I've seen the new Dreamweaver (CS3) in action and as far as I could tell it did a bang-up job at not messing with code that was programmed by hand or through another application. The idea you're thinking is a practical application in online content management systems like Joomla or blogs like Wordpress, where a user can only edit the content of their websites, the template itself remains intact.
i think he is talking about something more like dreamweaver meta... he makes it seem like he wants to be able to do it from his laptop not having to logon to a website control panel etc.
