This is the DBS default template. Hence, it is called "default". It comes in several colors. They are yellow, pink, red, blue, and green.   -Andrew D. Regner, DBS designer and programmer

First Public Release!
I have uploaded the first public release of DBS to the Source Forge project page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/digitization/). You can go there and download the zip file you will need to install it onto your server or you can use the subversion repository to check out the latest version of the source code.

The Digitization project is a public endever, and I invite any PHP developers out there intersted in the project to give their input.

Welcome one and all, to the new beginning.
WELCOME to the homepage of the Digitization Blogging System (DBS). What is DBS you may ask? That is a good question. When you find out let me know.

As far as I know, DBS is a Content Management System (CMS) that is currentally designed for web logs, also known as blogs. The developers behind DBS have tried to make this system the simplest piece of software possiable, yet still granting the site owner and users ultimate versitility and flexability. (Microsoft could learn a thing or two from them.) Currentally, with this first public release of DBS, it only version 0.8.0.0 BETA R1. This means that not every feature the designers intended for DBS' first full version is implimented yet, and there are some bugs. However, with the communities help, those bugs can soon be found and fixed. Development is always on going, each new release adding new features.

The development, debugging, and release concepts shall follow these few ideas. Whenever there is a beta release, primary focus will be on debugging that beta version to get to a point where it can be deemed stable. A stable release version is any version identifier without the word "beta" in it. As this is happening, various bug fixes and patches will be released, by incrementing the "r-number" of that beta version. This is beta r1, and the next release of bug fixes will be beta r2, and so on. The version number, currentally 0.8.0.0, represents two different aspects of the software. The first two pieces (0.8) will represent the features and capability that is implimented in that release. The last two sections (0.0) will represent the fixes and optimizations of existing features and capability. If, for example, a new feature is released and debugged in version 1.4.0.0, and then that same feature, or any other existing feature, is fixed and improved in version 1.4.1.0 or 1.4.0.1, depending on the scale of the changes. Also, it should be noted that the version number 1.0.1.0 is lower then 1.0.10.0 which is also lower then 1.0.11.0.

DBS was inspired by the personal website of Andrew D. Regner (ADR), which he called Digitization. The name literally means the process of converting something that isnt digital into something that is digital, i.e. stored in a computer or other type of system as digitial 1's and 0's. The site was named such in an effort to represent what the site really was. ADR was converting his thoughts into digital information for the world to see. In one way or another, that is what any site owner who uses DBS is also doing; converting something they came up with into digital information to share with a group of people.

So I invite you all to explore the system and become enthrawled in its true wonder. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to comment on this post with whatever you wish to say.
