Re: [Lynx-dev] Lynx and Wordpress?

[Tom Masterson]

I have 4 sites that I work on all in Wordpress.  The accessibility of editing 
them depends on what plugins you use.  She classic editor is very easy to use 
and in many cases I simply use lynx and if it is a large Chang pull it to vim 
and then save it back to lynx press tehe save button on the page and press on.  
For things that need to be pretty I ask my wife for help as colors and image 
placement have little meaning for me.
