Scriptogram - First Impressions
27 May 2013
I no longer host a site on Scriptogram - see this post
After working with scriptogr.am and dropbox for a few days, albeit on a very basic level, here are a few of my observations.
What I like
- It’s FREE
- Simply way of creating posts and pages using a text editor and some basic Markdown syntax.
- You can customise (edit CSS and HTML) till your heart’s content
- Proxima Nova (used in the Basic Theme) is a beautiful font
- Did I mention it’s FREE
Quirks
- Auto synchronisation should be a feature to save having to do it manually each time you make a change (which is often if you’ve got my grammar and spelling skills)
- Published: True doesn’t seem to work so you need to omit it or remove the line (from your post or page document) if you’ve had it set to False
- You have to ‘Allow’ the connection between Scriptogram and Dropbox every time you log in although I thought this was a one-time activity.
- The Knowledge Base is fairly sparce
- The Public Discussion forum has a lot of topics but not many are being answered
- Code doesn’t display correctly in IE10
- Social links don’t display correctly in IE10
- Since when is 27 February in March - see my Archive page
To Do
- Embedded images
- Embedded video / audio
