Dagnammit!

I am developing a website with the intent of selling some of my photographs and art projects and to that end have bought a web domain and begun building the website myself. There are so many good services and offers now that I think you can do a reasonably good job on your own and editing this blog has taught me a few things about codes and shortcuts.

The website has been a learning curve though; for a start getting to know the web designer software that comes with my package, I do not know if they all use the same terms but the terms within this one were new to me.

I have spent many hours so far trying to get it to look how I wanted, and be easy to read and accessible to all, and there have been some major cock ups along the way. I have a few times now changed an item or colour on the website by accident and cannot get it back how I had it.

My most recent efforts are no exception and I have now managed to delete the links from my first page and cannot find anyway to get them back. There is it would seem a link between the homepage and the other pages missing!

I have managed to find a way round it that I am happy with but I never really like doing things without knowing why. I like to figure out the mistake and learn from it.

The help is very basic and bacically no help! Although I can access each page in code and have done some editing there which I think is the answer to my query.

Anyway, my website is now looking much better, in my opinion, and I am happy with the hours I have recently put in however on finishing my most recent session I returned to Mozilla, my preferred browser, to find that the web page looks different there and to be frank somewhat naff!

The web designer software I use is only compatible with Explorer and although the web site has looked the same on both browsers so far, now it does not!

Anyway I am grinning about it, just, and rubbing my sore back and neck. I will return another day to fathom that one!

  3. Best of luck with going into the market of selling your work. I am a firm believer there is a huge audience out there for all. It can be hard work going it alone with a website but can be great fun. Just remember slap copyright and watermarks on.
