I know just enough to get my sites to display. This Baby Boomer learned how to code by doing internet searches and using free online classes. I guess that’s something I should try when I’m bored. I don’t have a Mac and haven’t tried coding on the iPhone. Textastic is compatible with Mac, iPad, and iPhone. What I do know is that Textastic does exactly what I want it to do, so no complaints from me. There are several features that I haven’t used and honestly don’t know what they’re all about. Let’s face it, forgetting to close a tag can create a whole world of trouble when formatting web pages. With the configurable user interface, I can choose dark mode and a text color scheme that helps me to see exactly where a tag began and ended. There’s also a feature for the app to show HTML tag hints, but I’ve disabled that. The two features I like most about Textastic are the HTML Preview and color coded tags. As a matter of fact, I think I like it even better. It is the perfect Notepad ++ replacement. After much trial and error, I settled on Textastic. Unfortunately, it did not work on the iPad. In the Windows environment, I used Notepad ++ as my HTML editor of choice. Plus, way back in the beginning of my online journey, I used to code websites. Since my blogs did not have a large and active community, switching to a website made sense. So, I decided to slowly work on converting my blogs to static websites. Back then, I had several blogs so for each update, I had to multiply the time it took to update by the number of blogs.Īfter a while, I noticed that I spent more time updating WordPress, the plugins, and themes than I did putting new content on the blogs. I got tired of the updates (although I know they are necessary), tired of the changes to the editor, and tired of the constant hack attempts and spam comments. Right around the time I bought the iPad, I was also getting fed up with the WordPress blogging platform. The second question was, “Is it possible for me to blog using an iPad?” Then, of course, I wondered how difficult and cumbersome it would be with me being a long-time Windows user. I searched around and found a couple of people who did it, so I knew it was possible. When I first considered leaving the PC environment and using an iPad exclusively, I wondered if someone could blog on an iPad. It’s also compatible with Macs and iPhones, but since I use the iPad exclusively to code my sites, I know it works well with iPads. If you’re considering coding a website using an iPad, Textastic is the HTML editing app to get.
