I've just spent the best part of two months creating and refining my own website, using Mr Site as my host. Many a tear has been shed, believe me! I'm a complete technophobe but have found myself learning how to do things I'd never attempted before - things that others would find laughably simple, no doubt. Mr Site is both easy to use and damned difficult as you can't always get the format to look right. Even when my teenage son was roped in to help, he found himself stymied. Now, though, although it's not the most sophisticated site in the world, I'm pleased with it: I've aimed for a certain look and have added images to each page that are simple but have meaning. The text is nice and clear. The hope is that, as the film says, 'If you build it, they will come.' I found the blogger template much easier to work with and have run my blog for a couple of years with very little trouble. By the way, I have a link to you on my blog and find the directness of both your blog and Sally Zigmond's appealing. I wish you all the best as you develop your website and I'll send my blog readers your way.
