UPD Content Management System by SPeedY_B
UPD is a very simple web-based content management system written by SPeedY_B (aka David Kerry).
The system utilises the PHP: Hypertext Processor and the MySQL Database system to store information. Originally designed as a simple project to do nothing more than post content to a web-site, the project has eveolved into a code-playground for testing new features and ideas which are useful or just plain cool for actually managing a web-site/weblog.
The code shall not be released for public use due to personal reasons, however (time permitting) a demo version may be put on the web for all to play with, along with a simple default template.
UPD was originally developed using SubEthaEdit, however has since been completely re-written using TextMate. All development is undertook on a Mac
