Brimstone and Dreamweaver

I have been trying to update my website for roughly the past five years. I originally was going to hire someone to do it. I knew nothing about making a website. After hiring and firing two "designers," a friend who was in a web design program at the local junior college offered to do it. This seemed perfect... until she took my first $100 payment, skipped town and wouldn't reply to any of my messages. This was a couple of years ago. I still haven't heard from her.

Then I decided I was going to have to do it myself. There's been a running joke around our house these past few months. "Do you hear something? Is the house possessed? That wailing and moaning... The agonized cries of tormented, damned souls are filtering up from hell!....No? Wait.... oh, it's just Ellen working on Dreamweaver."

At last, the big event happened this week. I hit "put" and it went live. I finally have a website again. I feel like the tortoise that just crossed the finish line. Or a damned soul who just got a pardon.

The site is Zebra Crossing Picture Factory, or zebracrossing.org

  1. Hello! Thought I'd return the visit. This looks like a great place to hang out. I love the collages on your website, too.

  2. The story of your webpage sounds like a stony road indeed. But it looks great! So far everything worked for me, and I like the general setup and the images. I will have to go back and look some more.

  3. Thanks BT. I did it on a Mac, on which it looks good, but have been discovering that on some versions of I.Explorer it doesn't work as well. I've heard this is a common problem. Alas...!
