About This Site...
This is version 3.0 of my web site.
For this version, I decided to use Middleman , a Ruby-based static site generator. I use Middleman to build content, run the content through the Middleman compiler and then push the generated HTML pages to my site’s public directory.
I use a number of web tools to create various effects on the site. See the “Generated by” section of the footnotes at the bottom of this page for a complete list.
I have decided to continue using the Wordpress blog tool even though Middleman has some very powerful built-in blogging features. Wordpress is a hugely popular web framework, it suits my purposes, and there are WP CSS themes and plugins galore.
Web site hosting is done by NearlyFreeSpeech.net . NFSN is a no-frills, DIY metered service web hosting company. I’ve been with them since 2004. It costs me about $40 a year to run the site, including the annual domain registration fee. It doesn’t get any cheaper. The “down side”: you get to do everything yourself, so you need to be a combination web developer and sys admin.
The pictures on the site are from places we have visited at various times - Iceland, Portugal, Spain, UK, Vancouver and Victoria BC, Oregon, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Colorado. Site photography and gallery images by De’Lynne Salley, all rights reserved.
