World's Largest Ram Disk
Made With Notepad
I am proud to say my web pages carry the Made With Notepad icon. While I actually use Wordpad, it is only used for text documents.
Basically all the CSS and the Java script and all the html layout and content is written using Wordpad or another text editor.
For the content, I use Notepad to author it and I then use A simple content management systems written using Rebol to combine the content within the html templates. There is nothing other than replace <--Body--> with the body text. So the content and the template have html that are combined.
Likewise to write this blog I use the Blog program and it does the same thing. Combining a html content with a html template.
I find this is the best way to maintain control over the layout, through Note/Wordpad and also the easiest way to update content, by using Blog and Rebol to add content and then wrap the content is the html template.
I have to use Dreamweaver at work and the number of times I find myself editing the code because copying and pasting a ul list breaks the formatting is incredible. working with raw html provides by far the best control. logged by Anthony at 9:24:14 AM Link
