This is supposed to be a simple web site. There is no
database functionality, place to blog or
leave a comment. It is an opportunity to learn
about web development and share some content with family
and friends.
The main web pages are done in HTML with a text editor.
Most of what I know about HTML can be found in SunCam
continuing education course in the link below.
The picture browsing pages are generated by XnView (a
free picture browser that is in the links below). I did
make some custom templates in XnView for the photo page
creation. This was mostly so that these photo album
would be more phone friendly when viewing (Note: I have
stayed away from the swip screen to navigate prictures.
As near as I can tell this would require me to implement
java script or some other options beyond HTML. I wanted
to keep it more basic, so I've kept the button navigation
approach).
Any illustrations, information page sheets,
calendars, web buttons or arrows were
done with Inkscape (a free illustration application that
is in the links below). My son, who helped me get the
hosting site and the initially set up done, also
installed "git" for version control and backups. It
makes a few extra steps when you are pushing content
to the hosting site, but hasn't been that bad to
implement.
The following pages are the focus of this web site:
- Home: That is this page.
- Projects: Mostly home building and renovation type
projects.
- Gear: Review of gear and equipment.
- Tech: Electronic equipment such as computers,
cameras, drones and some software.
- Trips: Hikes, boating and travel to various places.
- Other: Miscellaneous stuff that doesn't fit in the
above list.
