LorentzTheory is a project I've been working on for quite some time, and it's a website management package. Think of it as a downloadable forum software, except it's not a forum but a website instead, yet still having all the management ease with uploading via forms, graphed statistics, locking certain people from viewing the site, instant change of layout of the pages, and a whole list of features.
LorentzTheory v1.0 is the current code I use for my website, http://lorentztheory.com/ and to be honest, the current coding for my site sucks. Big time. Afterall, it was only the first prototype for the LT project. LorentzTheory v2.0, on the other hand, is an absolutely new code with everything just expanded out for automation.
The new project is soon to be finished, but like my sig says not TOO soon. I've been programming for days without pause and I don't think I'm even half-way there. There are simply so many features you can have on it's mind boggling 0_0 I can say here, that in my 9~10 years of programming experience, this is going to be biggest project I'd have undertaken. Because it's not just simply making an easily managable site (I can do that in few hours), but making that code both secure and flexible and easily read that people can adapt to all sorts of website purposes.
When the whole code is finalised I'll release it to the public so people can download it and use it to make their own websites. Well, they have to get a PHP enabled host, so no free-hosting sites here.
The reason why I'm posting this here is because I see so many people wanting to make a site with an automated way of uploading pictures, easy site management with visitor statistics, art galleries, etc etc, and doesn't know anything past FTP. Your days of learning PHP without getting anywhere is over.
When it's entirely finished I hope many many people would use the software. I can see THOUSANDS of people using this platform to manage their site, because I've never seen a website that uses a code made by a 3rd party programmer entirely and still be secure and unique.
(and I'm also supporting Free Website Foundation
I'm keeping the promise of releasing the code for my site this way.)
[edit] Oh, and the best feature I can think of for LTv2.0 is that you'll never 'have' to upload a static page again. Yep, it'll all do it with its own flat-file DB. Imagine the possibilities when I write a mod for this long time later so it supports MySQL... You read me, you can write/install custom mods for LTv2.0.
