For most of this century I have been using Dreamweaver to develop my websites. I had previously used the Microsoft product whose name I can't remember. Today I tuned into an Explorinar with Thomas MacEntee of High Definition Genealogy on the use of Weebly.
In less than half an hour I have put together this simple website using the free Weebly website creator. I look forward to further exploring the Weebly tool to enhance my site. At the moment I haven't personalised the site with my own images etc but give me another hour or two and it will take on its own personality.
I have recently purchased a new laptop and have been going through the tiresome task of loading my software onto it. I am now going to experiment with Weebly and, if I can incorporate my other webpages into my Weebly site then I may not even load Dreamweaver onto this new machine.
For someone who would like to have a website but doesn't know how Weebly provides a simple WYSIWYG drag and drop interface. It's really child's play - as Thomas related it is being used widely in schools for students to create webpages.
As for today's explorinar with Thomas, he once again did a great job. He ably demonstrated the features of Weebly while interacting with participants who posted questions on the chatboard. I like his style of teaching in which he responds to questions as they arise. Thomas' personable approach made me feel as though I was in the room with him not on the other side of the world. Thanks, Thomas, for an excellent learning experience.

Thanks for the shout out Jill! The link to your new weebly site is not working - it might be the link in the blog post.
ReplyDeleteSilly me, I linked to the Weebly website. Will amend right now, thanks.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Hmmm... I might have to have a play with that...
ReplyDeleteHi, This sounded great, however is it really FREE? When registering, they ask for credit card details - with an annual subscription!
