Construction Update...

I'm spending spare time learning Dreamweaver 8, a great little piece of software for web design. I've also managed to find a site that hosts free step-by-step tutorials, nine hours worth of free tutorials (!), for novices like myself.

If all goes well, I hope to completely overall the look of the blog. A more professional look might not grow the audience, but it will certainly inspire more interest from myself.

Blogger's free templates don't provide the kind of eye-catching style I'd like. Nor do they have the intuitive interface and flexibility to guide the would-be designer through the process of overhauling the templates they provide. No matter. A little Photoshop combined with a nine-hour Dreamweaver clinic could go a long way to doing them one better in that respect.

It may be all for naught really. Afterall, we are talking about window-dressing. Until this blog begins to address the fundamental question of what it's purpose is, there will be unresolved readership issues. Providing content on a regular basis would be a good start though :D

The construction goes on...
