Web Development
Hi all Recently, the subject of website development was discussed on Mac Access. This kind of set me thinking and I wondered whether anybody had got any joy out of using Sandvox? This is, I believe, apple’s recommended application now, since their own iWeb is no longer available. Many people talk about using Wordpress, and this is something I’m going to investigate while I’m on Easter holidays. Although not in the same way as some others, I plan to install it on a local server to see how it works. Once done, I’m planning to install MAMP Pro in order to maintain several Wordpress sites on the same server. Another application which may or may not have been mentioned as part of the discussion is MarsEdit. This application which is available from a small developer called Red Sweater, http://www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/ is very definitely worth a look and, if you’re able, supporting. The guy who develops the software is very proactive and always keen to assist where he can. Any thoughts anybody?

Re: Web Development
Hi Gordon and all I am trying Mars Edit and it is brilliant. It recognized my Wordpress account right away once I entered in the required information. I was able to post both a blog and a page, make edits to it and so on. I plan to buy it probably from the App Store soon rather than the developers themselves. So if you're going down this route I say way to go for you. Regards Chris Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof!

Re: Web Development
Hi Chris We have been using MarsEdit for years now, alongside other solutions such as Taco HTML Edit. But I think to get the best out of MarsEdit you do need a WordPress account on some server or others. We’re fortunate in as much as we do have the capability and capacity to install our own server and dedicate it to this type of thing so I think we will do this and as soon as I get around to doing it we will move our blog to our own servers. But I strongly urge you to buy direct from the developer. That way you can be sure of benefiting from their excellent support.

Re: Web Development
Hi Gordon and all Ar ok that's the catch then, thanks for the advice.

resources for blind web developers was Re: Web Development
Hi Gordon and all, Currently, I'm using wordpress.org in combination with iPage.com to build a website. I'm glad you mentioned some of the other web building platforms out there as I might find them helpful in the future. My question sort of branches off this topic, hence the subject change. What resources are out there for blind people who are learning website development? Particularly what resources might be out there to help us learn things like coding, and how to deal with graphic design and all? I suppose I'm asking because I've been looking but just haven't found much out there.
