Why my website isn't all glossy.......
Well, for AGES I tried to get someone to *do* my website. Over the years I have asked lots of people and they were all lovley and really good at doing websites. Easy I thought. But the second the technical talk started I could feel myself breaking into a sweat. Domain name, hosts, HTML (what IS HTML!!!)what sort of feel, what sort of image.......... I had no idea - I didn't even know what colour I liked best - what if I changed my mind??? I do that a lot. And I'm a control freak..... So, I decided to do a course at the local TAFE/COLLEGE. I signed up, paid my fee and got all excited about the lunch that would be provided - all I had to bring was a pen and paper. I had everything sorted, it ran over two Tuesdays (which are my worst afternoons logistics wise)so I arranged for the kids to be dropped of here there and everywhere. I was ready!!!!!! Then they cancelled due to lack of interest! So, in a bit of a strop I headed to Officeworks and bought a box - it was empty when I opened it - except for a number and a little instruction book - I thought they'd forgotten to put whatever should be in the box in! I was about to ring and complain, but instead I read the instructions, logged in - and suddenly I was sorting out colours and headers and... It is a little like something made out of egg boxes that the children used to bring home from school, but I am having fun with it and loving learning about widgets and HTML (still don't fully understand what it is!)and wrapping text around images. So, that's why it's not all glossy and professional - but one day it will be! (Unless the Mr Site people de-list me for using the helpline too much - I'm there all the time!)
