Creating a site from output
 

Thanks to Farling's excellent Output program, I can get html files for my realm(s).

Can anyone give me some help in setting up a Wordpress site (or other) using these files or is such a thing just not possible? I'd like to create a site for my players in my homebrew world, but I haven't in anything since Geocities... :)

You can upload static pages to the WP (Wordpress) engine although if you don't know css it can be tricky to make the pages look nice.

If you want old-school with ftp uploading your .html files and free, I ran a little website off of x10hosting.com for a while. A lot of the free sites are bandwidth limited or inject ads, so do your research before you commit to anything.

Also, make sure you don't have 100% copied from original material, you could run afoul of the IP lawyers for whatever game system you're hosting.

Excellent, thanks! And this is all setting for a homebrew, so no worries on the IP. :)

You can also create a single HTML file containing everything. It might be pretty big, but it would be easier to send to the other players.

I did, briefly, contemplate adding an FTP upload facility to the tool, but then I considered all the different options that would be required to be supported - and adding in username/password processing would always be a security issue.

There is a personal wiki-like tool called TiddlyWiki which is really just a single html file... it does some interesting things. However I can tell you from personal experience that once your file gets to be a couple of hundred meg in size, it is not really viable.
