Create a website they said…It’ll be easy they said…. Yeah, right!!! All I’ll say is that it was not easy. I have spent hours and hours watching YouTube videos and rewatching the same videos for step-by-step directions. Understanding the terminology is a different world. The most frustrating part of the whole thing is me designing/creating and not realizing that “Publish” meant “Save”. I never clicked on the word “Publish” as I thought it meant ‘go live’ (which terrified me). Pages, Containers, Typography, Padding, etc. is all new to me. I still can’t figure out how to get a Capital letter in my titles! But oh well, it’ll save for another day. Managing the photos is the most challenging part now. I started with the most recent trips but will go backwards to post on previous travels. Still a work in progress but up and running for family and friends. Tools/Products used include: Bluehost, WordPress, Elementor (Pro version), Astra, FLA-shop (for maps). Cost = ~$105 (annual).
As my dad would say: “I hollered before I was hurt.” Good stuff.
Thanks Tom!
