Ploy Preview: How to run your blogging backend

Posted in Blogging, Code, Computers & Technology by Elliott Back on October 9th, 2005.

I’m currently working on a project in php that I call Ploy. It’s short for “deploy” and it’s a tool for doing php deployment with customizations. This means that I can have a single codebase for all my blogs, and drop in specific files where I need them, or make a modification to a file. So, I can replace the adsense project_id with the idea across all my sites, drop in different themes and css, all with one click. Need to update wordpress? Drop in the new files and click.

Here’s a little screen shot of what I’ve got so far:

This isn’t a huge innovation, but it’s only a few thousands lines of code, and it will save me countless trouble in the future. Welcome to the age of Ploy.
