Maysles Sum-up

So for the past weeks a lot has happened to the maysles blog/ new website. As mentioned we are building it on the wordpress platform, because it's important that perople without programming-knowledge can update the website.
Last week Brooke, their current webmaster came to visit New York and to have a meeting with us. We got some info, that narrowed us down on how advanced we could make the backend of the site. The backend code needs alot of notes and if possible should be avilable to open in Dreamweaver, because Brooke is not a programmer, and used Dreamweaver to build all the pages for the site. We set up a deadline for a test site which the Maysles crew could play with to get to know the website before we leave, that will be two weeks from now, so they have two weeks to use it before we leave.
We struggled a bit about making a new page for the blog that could retrieve info from the wordpress database, and output it on a seperate page, but after we found out that there was a speacial "Header" section you have to include to have access to the wordpress content, everything worked out well.

Last night i was at a "first of all time" screening with a documentary in progress, which Gabriel is working on. He doesn't work with maysles, but his office is in the maysles institute building, so we had allready met before, and he invited me to the screening. It was a very interesting documentary he was working on, about this mentally disordered person, who suffered from compulsive "prison break" disease. That means he kept breaking of of jails and prisons. He was really smart, but damaged at the same time, and the story and this caracter was soo interesting, i can't wait for this doc to get finished!
