Hi all, I at the moment have 2 websites that are designed by notepad using a windows VM. I for one sometimes use nano to edit my webpages when I'm in my server and things. when I first started my website, I started it from my schools dorm that I was in at the time and still am, but I needed to find a way to build it so I at that time, used notepad on what ever computer I could get on at my schools dorm and storing and uploading all of my pages with MFTP. but now, I use, if I'm on the windows side of things, notepad what I have been doing, but to upload I use winSCP to do all my uploading.... I'm sorry for giving this much info, but I feel it's needed.... Lol. take cair all.
