You have no idea how often I have looked for ways to connect our website with our git repository. If I switch to jekyll I lose everything that I've done to build the existing website (which I spent real money on to get a decent design for). My dream scenario would of course be something that pokes straight at the wordpress database - because heck, how hard can that be? Extract the active posts and dump their text into a directory full of plain text files. And then sync changes to those text files back into the database. Sounds easy, right? Except that when I tried this, I soon ended up in the weeds and nothing worked. I'll happily consider other options... /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
