Remember that the output from VoodooPad is going to be flat (all in one directory), so if for some reason your proposed website requires a directory structure, you’d be better off building it another way. What kind of website is right for this? Well, if it makes a good VoodooPad document, and doesn’t need to do anything terribly dynamic, it’s probably a good candidate.
#Clip page to voodoopad update
Page links are always current and automatically update as you change things around, and the Wiki-linking features of VoodooPad make it great for reference content. It’s easy to make changes to existing content and update the live site with the click of a button, plus VoodooPad is flexible enough to allow for separate testing and production output. Why would you want to do this? Once you get the pieces in place (it’s no more complicated than any other ground-up website build-out), it’s a great way to statically generate up-to-date content.
Keep in mind that you can make a VoodooPad site look any way you please, don’t judge the possibilities based on my aging design. Peek around, you’ll see how easily everything gets cross-linked and how quickly you can navigate a fair amount of information. It’s showing its age (I’ve come to loathe the design), but the site I’m talking about is the Blogsmith Bundle Documentation site. That’s what this post is going to be about. I can update it just by editing in the awesome auto-linking editor, and click one button to update my live site. To that end, I built a website using nothing but VoodooPad, hopped up on some custom scripts.
I like the web export the best, because it gives me a crazy amount of control over the output. VoodooPad has a built in web server, and can export your notebook as a full website, with links intact. With the right scripts, you can make just about anything happen, at least within the realm of text, images and web pages. VoodooPad is a powerful note-collecting, wikifying, productivity machine.
