PhotoWasp - Photographs with real sting!

After a period of 6 months, I have begun working on my PhotoWasp project again. The purpose of the PhotoWasp service is to provide enthusiast and professional photographers an easy way to make a high quality website with full e-commerce facility, and social networking abilities.
At the moment there is nothing publicly viewable but within six months the site should be launched.

TinyMCE and moodle one step closer

I am working on integrating Glen Davies work with tinyMCE. I am getting reasonabley close now. I have made minor modifications to the moodle code so that an administrator can choose between no editor, the htmlarea editor, and the tinymce editor. I have done the integration in such a way that I have been able to leave all of the htmlarea code intact, while disabling it when tinymce is used.
