Using Flatpress to replace an HTML website
Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2022 11:20 pm
For a couple of years now, I've been running a website dedicated to the preservation of software and content published for the Franklin eBookMan e-book reader and PDA. It's just a hobby site for me, but I've been enjoying my efforts at keeping the memory of this groundbreaking e-book reader alive.
Anyway, up until this point, I've been publishing the website in simple HTML. It's been doing just fine, but I wondered if it were possible to utilize Flatpress in some way to help make updates to the webpage a little more convenient. I know there are many other web publishing platforms out there that can do the job, but I enjoy using Flatpress and appreciate it's "lower overhead" on the server side. So, I thought, why not try?
After a bit of fiddling around, I think the results are turning out to be pretty good. What do you think? The "official" website is here: https://www.ebookmanlives.in.nf (in it's current HTML format). Here is my Flatpress testing ground for the site: https://www.chorusgrove.site/ebookmanfp
When I get the final few wrinkles ironed out, I think I actually will be moving the test site over to the official domain space and move ahead with Flatpress as the site's platform.
