After having "create a website" on my to-do list for oh, maybe about 3 years, I finally did it!
Yesterday I awoke to large snow flakes falling down (but not sticking), an overcast sky, and a nagging feeling that I really needed to get this done! So I did a little yoga, ate breakfast, grabbed a big mug of tea, and went to a create-your-website site I had seen. They offered the super package for $20 for 3 months to try out, so I thought, why not?
As they advertise, if you really want a basic website, without lots of extras, you could do it in a hour or two. And the basic ones are free! So yes, after an hour or so, I had the basics of my site together, some photos uploaded, but of course, I couldn't stop there. Then there was adding in the artist's statement, bio, comments, a review, links to everything, going to Photoshop to create a cover page, and on and on. So for now, at least, it is good enough, and it is up and running.

Your website looks great -- can't believe you did it in just a few hours!
Thanks so much, Judy. And, it's very easy to edit the site. I'm sure I'll do more with it gradually, but for now, it's finally here!
I enjoyed looking at your website and loved the slide shows. The only link I couldn't get to was the purchase page, maybe it was just me but it's worth you it out. Your Blurb books are great too, and I'm especially interested in the transfer book, which is why I was trying to get your purchase page.
Thanks, Carol. Yes, you found the one part of the site that isn't done (but which I'll now probably do tonight ;)! The book is cheaper if you just buy it direct from me because of the high shipping charges Blurb charges. I'll just charge you actual shipping to Australia, when I find out what it is. If you do want a copy, let me know, and I'll figure out what shipping is and let you know.
Great! Lots cheaper than flying over here for a workshop.
the website is terrific!
had only a few minutes to look, but will be back soon.
WOO! HOO!
Thanks, Rebeca! I'm still working on the purchase gallery...and eventually will probably customize some backgrounds...and... But the good thing is that this site makes it so easy to edit, add, remove and change anything. No hiring a web person to make changes, which can get very expensive. And if I ever learn Photoshop well, I could do all sorts of things with the site.
