LiveWorks! is Dead – Long Live LiveWorks!

With LiveWorks! turning two it’s gone through a major stage of growing up and now sports the official Ephox website look rather than it’s more youthful green tinge.  The different look was originally put in place because LiveWorks! was designed to hold a bunch of unofficial, unsupported, experimental stuff – most of which is still there but has gradually become more supported and much less scary to use in actual production systems. In the mean time, we’ve added a ton of new, really useful, very much supported (i.e. used as answers to support questions) content which we want users to find and use.

So I spent the day today painting LiveWorks! blue and as part of that, it’s mostly been rebranded the much more bland, but much more meaningful “Developer Resources”. There are still references to LiveWorks! scattered around the place which is fine and we won’t be changing the domain name but it’s much more just a part of the standard ephox.com site, rather than some rebel outfit in green.

Since liveworks.ephox.com and ephox.com now share exactly the same look, it seems sensible for them to use exactly the same stylesheet as well – so they do. I’ve actually gone round and pointed releases.ephox.com and people.ephox.com to the standard stylesheet while I was at it. So we now have 5 different systems (home grown CMS, IBM Portal, WordPress, Venus and flat files served via Apache) all looking very close to identical (except content) and using the exact same stylesheet. It’s not the world’s best stylesheet, but I still find that pretty neat.
