-- maintaining this site

I use a very simple setup to generate these HTML pages from plain text files, using a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode|BBCode] derivative for markup. For example, [misc.wtpl|the source] for this page. Each text file is parsed replacing BBCode with the relevant HTML fragments, combined with a HTML [template.html|template] and a [common.css|style sheet]. Although the BBCode itself is not much simpler than HTML, the formatting automation that is included in the parser is a real time saver.

Go on, laugh. Sneer and spout your [i insert-language-or-acronym-or-hype-word-here] speeches. In the words a great individual, [i eat my shorts!]

Incidently, the layout of these pages uses a little CSS trickery which tests OK in Firefox 1.x and IE 6. Not having immediate access to other browsers, I'd appreciate reports of any display oddities.
