Welcome!

The main purpose of this journal is to serve as a test and demo of How to Have a Website for No Money or Technical Skill. The idea is that artisans can display their work without having to spend money on an ISP, do any sort of HTML coding, or have to spend time developing computer skills. It should be just as easy as writing up documentation in Word, and posting photos to Facebook or Flikr. A lot of people use their LiveJournal accounts as a dress diary, but I propose that it can also be used to create an essentially static website that is easy to update.

For the time being, I'm going to be inputting some excerpts of my work, most of which already exists at my website. I will be using my free Flickr account to store photos. For creating links, embedding pictures and styles, I will use the Rich Text tab on my LiveJournal entry screen, instead of HTML, which I'm more accustomed to, but which requires a little more technical skill. For more info on the customization that I used, see the comments. I kept it as simple as I could.

Allons-y!
