Website woes

.
I don't think there are many things more trying than renovating a website ... a house, perhaps. In anticipation of the release of the paperback editions of Mistress of the Sun, I've been giving my somewhat complex website an up-date.

Or, rather, I've been telling others what I want done. This is strenuous when it's a matter of "a little bit bigger," "no smaller," "no, a bit to the right." If only I could do it myself! It's both expensive (very!) and trying. Which is why I'm this minute downloading a trial of DreamWeaver software.

I'm fussy about the appearance of my site ... and lucky, too, to have had Karen Templer (now of Readerville.com fame) and her then-business-partner Mignon design the original. Their web design company was called Quiet Space: which gives you an idea of their aesthetic. They were literary — rare in the tech world — as well as artists.

But the world moves on, not always quietly, and changes must be made. And so ... will I wade into the horrors of HTML? When I should be researching and paying bills and answering emails and ... ? I doubt it!
