Re: [Lynx-dev] Lynx and Wordpress?

[Karen Lewellen]

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.
Karen
