Hi Tom,
To insure I am following, there is a plug in called classic editor?
I may be able to allow dreamhost the chance to create a test environment for me, they did offer. Granted they use an older edition of lynx, but I do appreciate what you provide here.

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.

Hi there,
I agree with ease, my personal site is in html, so  when I have to change 
things  like a phone number, I can just use an editor.
However, this site will be new.
dreamhost provides the WordPress tool, but they also just provide regular ftp 
for uploading.
If I could find  someone willing to do the work, I would just  pay them within, 
reason.
Everything will be local, as in in my dream host workspace.  just desire a 
tool, and since WordPress is offered, thought I would ask.
Keeping in mind that I use shellworld, although I do have links for DOS on my 
computer, any easy creation tool that is not WordPress  then?

If I understand correctly, I believe you're talking about the
accessibility of the admin/authoring portions of Wordpress which
is independent of the accessibility of the resulting site published
using Wordpress.

Anyone successfully use WordPress with Lynx?

It's been a while since I've played with an install.  If the
admin/authoring panel isn't accessible from lynx (which might well
be the case since there was a major shift a while back in the
content-editor widget, changing from a more straightforward text
entry box to a rich-edit box), there's "wp-cli" (https://wp-cli.org/)
utility which lets you manage just about every aspect of a Wordpress
install from the command-line, including posting and comment
management.

That said, unless I *have* to use Wordpress for something, I generally
prefer using a static site generator (SSG) to maintain my personal
sites.  I use a combination of Nikola (https://getnikola.com/) and
a custom SSG that I wrote for my own uses depending on which site.
But there are lots of others like Hugo or Jekyll.  Big advantages
include:

- everything is local

- the generation process just creates an "output/" folder that you
can copy up to your server however you want (whether FTP, rsync,
scp, or some web GUI)

- there's nothing dynamic on the server that could be exploited/hacked
since it's all just text files

- the resulting pages are FAST even on a ridiculously underpowered
VPS instance or shared-hosting box

Anyways, just a collection of my random thoughts & ramblings.
