Setting up the site 2

In no way could I be said to be a web designer, but in an effort to make a better job of this journal I have been looking for 'drag and drop' software for website design and ended up with Rapid Weaver, having experimented with one or two others. It has taken me an afternoon to set up this site so far - what a brilliant piece of software!

On my way up the hill again thinking about this journal, the new journal I have been playing around with Tinderbox and I just don't like the look of it so I am now thinking of actually building a complete website for this journal and that decision is based on the fact that I want to experiment and play with tromp l'oeil in relation to web stuff and I want the journal to look and feel and operate like a proper three dimensional object but be shareable over the web. I realise that my web building skills may not be up to this so I am going to pursue my other research topic as it were which is to try and work as much as I can with drag and drop and to that end I have bought a copy of Rapid Weaver and I am going to spend a bit of time trying to customise that to see if I can make it look how I want it to look and then I am going to have a web address so I will have to think into that one maybe I should set a site up with Cherry just to explore, I could talk to her tomorrow when I see her, or possibly it could be part of iWeb another section of that but we will see, I haven't got that far yet.
