Hosted website changes

[PeterD]

While commenting on the adjacent post regarding Joe's work in making hosted sites smartphone compatible a thought occurred to me. I checked my Historia site and found that every page has had an extra line of code added to it - which is absolutely fine with me. Joe, it must have taken hours - there must be a thousand pages there!

I sometimes re-load pages when I find a typo or broken link and create new pages. So it seems to me that I need to add the extra line of code when I do this. Again, not a problem, but just thought I would flag it up.

Now if I could just learn to use a smartphone properly....

That extra line of code just makes the page display a little better on phones. It is exactly the same line I want to add to the Japanese site we host.

Hi PD,

I had the same problem regarding my hosted website.

I keep a copy of my website pages on my hard drive and flash drive. If I needed to correct a typo or add a new coin, it would over-write and delete any changes Joe made on his server, including that extra line of code.

I could have added that extra line of code as I went along, but it would have been too confusing. I have approximately 550 pages. Eventually, I would have lost track of which pages had it and which ones didn't. So, I decided to do it all at once. I basically "reverse engineered" it. Instead of uploading pages to Joe's server (which is what I normally do), I downloaded the edited pages (the ones that included the extra lone of code) to my hard drive and flash drive. That involved moving 550 pages 2 times each (hard drive and flash drive), for a total of 1,100 pages moved. Because I don't trust those automatic programs messing around with my hard drive, I did it manually, page by page. It took me over 2 hours to move those 1,100 pages.
