Welcome

Ideal Elements is becoming something different than what I've had time for in the past. I have completely redeveloped the site from the ground up and I'm currently still adding content from the old platform to the new one. PLease be patient while I get the tutorial database mograted over as well as all of my portfolio information. House cleaning should only take a brief period of time.

The development portion of the site, which you are looking at now, is something that I've created to house the other skills that I have to show. Here there will be tutorials on a few subjects including PHP, MySQL, Flash, HTML, CSS, PhotoShop and any other tools that I have information that I feel someone will find useful. In addition to these tutorials I anticipate dropping in articles when I find something of use that I will need to track down at a later date.

This application is built in PHP with a MySQL back end. All code was built from scratch without the use of a third party application. The goal of this site was to create an extremely lightweight CMS solution for myself and any clients who need to publish articles in this fashion. The features of this CMS are as follows.

• Article Management
• Category management
• Lightweight Blogging
• Lightweight Comments
• Theme Management
