Yes it’s true, I have embarked on a wild journey into CMS stardom. Needless to say, I really don’t know where to begin. For years I’ve looked for the right software to simply do an online portfolio, or ePortfolio/eFolio, that was simple to design, setup, and manage.

As most of you know, there is no real detailed description of the values and how the template engine is breaking down things. So I’ve started this little blog to not only help myself understand the template engine but to help others also.

For those of you who don’t know, SSH means Secure Shell Access. This allows you to connect to your web server directly in a command prompt style. In the past I use to upload and download complete websites, needless to say this would take quite some time. This small tutorial will show you how to use the ‘zip’ and ‘unzip’ commands to compress and uncompress before and after ftp transfers. Granted, you can also use the ‘wget’ command but I’m not getting into that.
