I have been building up a backlog of information I wanted to post on my old HowTo website but I just could not be bothered to launch GoLive and wrestle with it for 20mins before I could even start making changes.
The inevitable death of GoLive after the Adobe-Macromedia meant that sooner or later the site was going to need reworking. However rather than pay Adobe for the GoLive-Dreamweaver crossgrade I figured I could get a much better site without shelling out any money if I switched to WordPress.
Problem is that I liked the layout of my old website and its variable width design and I could find no Themes I liked for WordPress although GlossyBlue from N.Design Studio came close. I decided to crack out my copy of the excellent CSSEdit and trusty php editor TextMate and set to work. I’m pretty pleased with the result (although I wasted hour trying to get it to work with IE and it’s still not that great) and even got the variable width to work as I wanted.
It’s going to take me a while to port my old HowTos to the new system so they are off-line for the time being (sorry) but let’s hope that this is the start of much more frequent updates.

Hello.
As a fellow WP user, I understand your need/desire to move to WP. :-)
I did find something that seems to have been lost in ‘translation,’ however The ASSP How-To (http://www.maxlyth.com/whitepapers/SIMS_ASSP_HowTo/index.html) has gone AWOL, even though it’s listed in your current How To Page: http://www.maxlyth.com/?page_id=3. The same is true of the SIMS page, but I’ve not had to use that, since I use other servers. Any chance of you putting the old html page back on the new WP site?
Pretty please? It’s a GREAT resource, linked from all over the web.
Thanks for your help for all of us who use ASSP (which is sooooo much better than SpamAssassin).

Hello,
I too was looking for the pages referenced at http://www.maxlyth.com/whitepapers/SIMS_ASSP_HowTo/index.html
Are these posted elsewhere?
Thank you!

It took me a while to get around to it but all the old Whitepapers should now be online
