Using free tools! This page has been created on the Palm and uploaded to it also from the
Palm. The only editing on the PC that has been done to it is adding hyperlinks to the the
appropriate URL's. This was done after I uploaded this page however. I could have added
hyperlinks on the Palm if I knew beforehand the appropriate URL's. On PalmHeads I use PHP
templates, so the stuff I'm uploading is what I call "content". The headers and footers of this
page are automatically generated by the templates. You can use other techniques such as
ColdFusion or ASP to achieve similiar results.
PalmHeads recommend these free tools!
Of course you will also need a PalmModem and perhaps a keyboard. I use my Palm Tungsten W which is also a GSM Phone.
To "publish" html content to a webserver
- Like I have here, create your content in . Put in all the appropriate html tags.
- Give the DOC file a name, giving the html/server side scripting extension. In this case its "palmHTML_content.php"
- Connect to the net with your Palm, open up , change to the appropriate directory on your webserver, then type at the command line something like this:
pub palmHTML_content.php
- You have just published your first html content created on the Palm!
To download web content to your Palm
- Log-on to the net using your Palm.
- Open up & you enter in the URL you wish to download. produces the DOC file for you automatically.
- Edit away in a DOC editor and publish back to the webserver using
Surprisingly neat, cheap, and simple!
This content just added using tools above!
This page will only ever be updated using the tools mentioned above on the Palm!
Take my word for this, I have just added this content using to download, to edit, then to put back on my webserver!
Try it yourself! The Palm is a great tool for managing web content remotely. A big thanks to all the
developers who have made this possible. This is especially so with my with its
internet/GSM phone capabilities, and my connected via bluetooth to my phone.
