Write your code and publish it too with Planarchy
October 17th, 2007
Let’s go back to the basics. In order to publish a website, one usually works on an HTML editor and a separate FTP program to upload files onto a web server. This system works great for some, but not for others. The keywords here are simplicity and convergence. With a program called Planarchy, you can compose your pages and upload your files on a single platform.
Planarchy enables anyone to publish text and images onto a server with ease. No HTML background or external FTP client is needed - everything is taken cared of by Planarchy in the background. Just enter your newest post and click Publish. In a minute, you’ll be able to see your new entry on your web site. Before uploading the pages, the files are saved on a specified directory on your computer. This feature means you’ll always have an up-to-the-minute local mirror. In case something goes wrong, you’ll have a backup ready on your computer. The output pages are highly configurable. Choose how you’d like your entries to appear: a single page, spread across numerous pages, or specified by an entries-per-page value.
Consider it an alternative all-in-one blogging engine. Development and support for this software has stopped, with the latest version being Planarchy 2. However, it’s simple enough to use, and if you’re feeling adventurous, you might want to try it out. Planarchy 2 is compatible with Windows and requires Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 or higher.
