From about 1999-2002, the content of my web site was based completely in XML, using my own document type definitions for things like contacts, poetry, resumes, and so on. This XML was parsed by a server-side C++ CGI I wrote and translated into HTML.

The site is no longer functioning, but you can read a little about the history of this project, as well as find the source code, by clicking here.

Ideally, this project was going to turn into a full-fledged content management system, but this proved too ambitious. I abandoned the project for a much more robust Movable Type engine (i.e. my current site). I regret moving away from an XML base, but I do enjoy the convenience of a full-fledged content management system.
