Two Weeks aready?

Wow two weeks goes by in an eyeblink it seems.

I've been very, very, very busy.  And it's been a great time!  After struggling with webpages, I've managed to put together over 45 pages (well they are each over 90% done).  Just some finishing touches and I'll be ready to launch.  Ooops! "Launch" -- what is that?  HOW do I do that??  Well, that will be one of my upcoming lessons.

I want to thank Janet, cousin to my friend Vicki.  Without Janet, I would still be stuck on this project, which had not gotten even 1 page done that I liked even a little.  But, with Janet's help, I've learned a TON of stuff and am well on my way!

Of course, now I have to go delete 2 previous attempts at *very* bad websites!  I'll be glad to see those few pages go!  And of course, I can use that space for my new & improved pages!  Yeah!

I really get a kick from mastering NEW info and finding success in USING new info.  I guess I'm very much a "learner;" that is, I really enjoy learning.  I never, ever, ever thought I'd be doing this kind of project!

Of course, I have jitters about launching the website.  Will it be good enough for users?  Will they like it?  Have I forgotten anything?  At night, I can "hear" ideas perculating in my mind.  Sooner or later those ideas will pop to the surface.  I hope soon, cos I'm not happy with the color & images "design" part of my webpages yet.  Part of MY problem is that what I like in images doesn't lend itself very well to computer use.  Nor on mainly data pages (genealogy data).  So I'm searching free image sites to see what I can find.

Hopefully, I'll have my very first website up & running by November.   I'm planning three sites linked together.  Hope it works.

Of course.... the work on my book has come to a standstill - again.  I really think I should have a secretary (or two)-- LOL.  I don't have enough hands to do what I want to get done!!
