[Year 12 IT Apps] IT Lecture Notes have moved

[Mark KELLY]

It's a proprietary CMS called *Shopa* (produced by *thewebdesigner* in
Windsor.)

I don't know Shopa too well yet. It's hard unlearning old static HTML site
paradigms.  It hurts my head a bit at the moment getting my head around a
non-hierarchical stack of content...

After playing with Joomla (for my vceit.com site), I'm becoming more
convinced that CMS is the way of the future.  I'll see if I can get it on
the school computers for next year's prototype website outcome.  Just need
to install WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP)...

As I type this, the new DNS of http://www.mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au has
propagated to where I am so the new McKinnon site is live.  This means that
the old home of the IT Lecture Notes is now dead  [?]

Please now link to http://vceit.com.  The pages within the new site
correspond exactly to links in the old site: just replace *
www.mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au/vceit/foobar.htm* with *vceit.com/foobar.htm.*

In the meantime, I'm seeing whether Netspace has a redirection in their
control panel, or if we need a .htaccess hack.

Cheers!
Mark
