Feed Description: Smalltalk can do that
I've finally finished a facelift of my company's web site at www.simberon.com. My goal was to move all of the site's "look and feel" into CSS files and keep only the content in HTML. It's a painful process because every different browser renders CSS slightly differently. In the end, I'm happy with the results.
My biggest problem is that hand-editing HTML files is painful, time consuming and error-prone. If I could convince my ISP to allow me to run Smalltalk services, I could use Seaside which would be ideal. For now, I only have a handful of pages so I can edit them manually. I'm tempted, though, to at least write something up to automate the generation of the pages. It's silly to keep repeating the same information on each web page with only slight changes.
In the end, maybe the best option is to beef up my Internet feed, upgrade my Linux server and host the site myself. Then I can run any application I want and not worry about my ISP's rules. I'd love to try out Seaside on this site.
