These home pages are mine; the home pages of Edwin Voskamp. You can e-mail me at: website@voskamp.org.
At the top of the page you can find an overview of the different sections in this page.
I created these pages using the most convoluted process you can imagine, a reflection of my busy life and growing experience as an HTML coder:
In the beginning ... they were Microsoft Word
They were created on December 26, 1995 using HTML Author .
.. then there was a simple HTML editor
Subsequently they were modified (mainly for URLs and backgrounds) using an evaluation copy of HTML Easy! Pro Version 1.3 .
Desktop tools to do Web things
The Roadmap was created using Visio 3.0, saved as a Windows Meta File, converted to a GIF file using Hijaak Pro for Windows. The positions were worked out by loading it into Microsoft Imager and jotting down the positions the mouse pointer was hovering over, then working out the widths, heights and vertical and horizontal intervals.
The 'generate everything' stage
Mostly they were maintained using vi, with the assistance of a monster UNIX Korn-shell script that put in the background and colour tags, modified links into relative links and put in the buttons.
vi will never die
Then they were maintained for the longest time using vi, but all links are hand coded and the graphics for the background and buttons, as well as the links to the shared pages are maintained using the <base> HTML tag and relative links.
And ... finally, "horses for courses"
Still using vi for quick touchups, but I am moving to keeping them in Microsoft FrontPage 97 , for creating indices and playing with advanced HTML options, positioning, and some Active content. For the main editing I have switched to HomeSite , a gorgeous HTML Editor, it makes a perfect match with CSE 3310 , an HTML Validator. I liked the pair so much, I went out and bought them. I'm using HomeSite 2.5 Beta 2 and CSE 3310 2.00 Beta 1a. Highly recommended.
They shoot horses, don't they?
Well, Microsoft FrontPage 97 is dead; I was getting sick and tired of its rewriting of my neatly laid out HTML. I am still very happily using HomeSite , with the invaluable CSE 3310 , an HTML Validator. HomeSite is now in its 2.5 Release, CSE 3310 HTML Validator is on release 2.00a. Still highly recommended and better than ever.
... and on and on it goes, in ever increasing circles.
Few changes to report; I'm still using Homesite, now in version 5.0.
Nick Bradbury sold it to Allaire, they of Cold Fusion fame
and stayed with them through release 4.0, in charge of HomeSite development.
In February of 1999, he started Bradbury Software, which release TopStyle,
a great Style editor, just upgraded to version 2.50.
TopStyle rocks, especially its validation against different standards and browsers' support.
I wish Nick the best, and hope for the best for HomeSite, and though I kept my fingers crossed for HomeSite,
it seems not to help: Macromedia bought Allaire.
I still use the incomparable CSE 3310 HTML Validator, now on release 5.10.
Highly recommend; it doesn't come any better.
For Change Management of the website content, I use Microsoft Visual Source Safe,
and Ipswitch WS_FTP (version 7.04) to synchronize the website
content between my local staging server (running Microsoft IIS4.0 on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server SP6a) and my ISP,
Pair, an excellent provider.
For graphics I use the heavy-weight tools I have professionally; top of the bill tools from Adobe:
Adobe Photoshop 6.0.
I use Adobe Illustrator 9.0, to create vector-based drawings
and export them to Photoshop for razor sharp, clean web graphics.
I use a full version of Acrobat 4.06 to generate PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) files and forms.
At the top of the page you can find an overview of the different sections in this page.

I also got tired of the old color scheme and I've been using a deep red

graphics, and touched up some pages.
I also removed the Epicast pages,
as they have put up their own website in the meantime.
I touched up the WH40K List pages on administrivia and etiquette,
since they were massively rewritten.

Battlefleet Gothic
and paintball stuff.

Experimented with the new directory structure to match the logical structure represented in the Roadmap.
This in preparation for an automated generation of Index, Up, Previous, Next links and pages.
I also changed the layout to reduce the size of headers and condense lists, use Definition Lists, instead of headers and paragraphs, to achieve a more aestethically pleasing effect.

I attended a bullwhip handling seminar given by Gery L. Deer in Ann Arbor, organised by a friend of mine who had seen Gery perform at a local Science Fiction convention. Since I have practiced diligently and acquired two more whips: it is boatloads of fun!
I have been running my new game settings, based on my serial campaign concept,
as well as have complete websites: ShadowWorld Mainline, ShadowWorld WWII and Grand Design.
I am working on a new current day ShadowWorld setting, with a new, entirely different cosmology.
More ...
Underworld, though laying claim to prior use,
was renamed to ShadowWorld in the summer of 2002,
to avoid confusion with earlier published role playing games with same or similar names.
It was moved to its own website.
