Do-it-yourself Web Design

September 19, 2008

I really should pay somebody to design my website but the temptation for my right-sided brain to do it myself is too overpowering. I have these great ideas floating around in my head just waiting to pour out. I bought a few books and highly recommend Paul McFedries, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Creating a Web Page & Blog. In fact, his new book, The Idiot’s Guide to Creating a Website, comes out October 7 and I’ve already pre-ordered. As an author, he is witty with a dry sarcasm that I find charming and I retained so much more with a smile on my face.

Paul really simplifies the process and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I could actually read HTML code. I find that I look at websites in a whole new way, literally, as I view the Page Source in my browser. I feel as if I’m reading a secret code. It’s great! I’m sure it goes without saying that it’s not for everyone. Who knows, if I actually “get it” and design my new site and blog, I could open up a whole new avenue of business for me. What fun!
