Using UNIX and PICO to Make Web Pages
Using UNIX and PICO to
create web pages does take some practice, but it is quite possible for the
worst "mouse addict" to learn it. The advantages of this method include
- You create your web page directly on the web server
- You can make changes and view them on the web immediately (just
switch windows between telnet and your browser)
- You can work on your pages ANYWHERE that has the ability to telnet
- You can do nearly ANYTHING with plain HTML that you can do with a web
editor
- Anyhow, your ISP (Internet Service provider) usually runs on UNIX, so you
need to understand how it works
- You can wow people by saying, "Yeah, I use UNIX to make my web pages."
So, this is why all of the pages on Felitaur
Enterprises have been created this way, but not everyone loves plain HTML
and UNIX as much as I do. And there are some disadvantages, depending on
how you look at it.
- You have to be able to deal with command lines and that evil UNIX
stuff (really not that bad)
- Web Editors are faster (especially for the basic layout)
- I can't use my mouse (mouse addicts again ;)
- I can't cut and paste (not true, will show you later on this page)
- I have to FTP my graphic files separately (true, but again not bad)
