Capturing Chaos

Today has been a struggling-along-the-learning-curve kind of day instead of a writing day. I am discovering — again — that I develop a severe case of writer’s block when faced with large tasks without some kind of a framework. I have an entire website to overhaul from stem to stern on a new site. Creating the content first seemed like a good idea, but not much was getting done. Solution — create the box to put the content in and I’m more likely to get it written before my self-imposed deadline.

So I’ve been playing with the software on three different free web.2 site-creation hosts, trying to find one that I can use to build a new site without tearing my hair out in the process. And the winner is…. Synthasite. It’s all drag and drop, perfect for a CSS illiterate and HTML first grader. It’s even kind of fun, but I’m a writer, not a coder, so I don’t need the thrill of doing it all from scratch. I’ll save that for my cooking. Not tonight, though. I’ve spent so much time tweaking and dragging that suppertime has arrived with nothing done in the kitchen. Frozen pizza for me, with some extra Parmesan and maybe a chopped up slice of smoked pork roll.

I did accomplish one other small thing. I pulled all my articles off Triond. Maybe more about that tomorrow.
