Hello and Welcome to Whiteink
A general, personal, communications channel kept open by Steve Whiting that doubles as an occasional playground for work stuff.
Simply More Editable
These chunks of text inside the dotted line are written with the Web Diffusion microBlog. They appear on this page as a live working demo of how simple adding content to a website can be.

This is a sample portion of text that you're probably going to want to change at some point in time.
The Building Blocks of the microBlog
A Web Diffusion microBlog is chunk of text that may be built-up from unlimited, multiple sets of 4 HTML page elements: a heading; a paragraph; an image and a hyperlink, which are then inserted into a web page.
Coming To A Screen New You Soon!
The paragraph is one of the building blocks of the microBlog's HTML output. This foundation has now had a new extension added with the introduction of the capability of creating bullet points into your text without the need to know any HTML markup.
- Simply press the Enter key
- Then type two bullet points [••]
- Repeat steps one and two and a new bullet point will be created.
- Keep on entering bullet points until you've had or done enough.
Finish the bullet points and resume with your paragraph simply by pressing the Enter key and continuing to type your content.

The chunk of text that you see above is a live, working demonstration of a feature I have built into Web Diffusion - the website management system I developed for my web design business, Sub@omic Limited.
The microBlog allows our Customers an ability to edit discrete portions of pages of their own websites without need to figure-out a complex CMS.

Things began to move quickly and meaningful updates needed to happen more frequently. There came a point where I began to lose track of who I'd updated and I began to get a very real sense of a time, somewhere close to the near horizon, where time spent updating outweighed time spent caring. So I developed the microBlog's capabilities so that, in addition to updating pages of a website, the microBlog was able to publish and manage an RSS feed of news and views. The RSS feed of the microBlog is a news feed, free from likes, shares, comments and all of that dark stuff associated with social media. The posts of news and views, therefore, aren't tweets but they did deserve to be called something. So I chose biscuits.
Feed Me Biscuits 🍪
Want to stay touch with what I am thinking/making/doing? I've taken a step back from the social medias to concentrate upon the development of the production of small news items (henceforth, referred to as 'Biscuits') which, primarily, are made available as an RSS news feed and, secondarily, as an HTML index. Have a biscuit or two…
