After my experience with blogger.com I was all puffed up with confidence that going to Weebly and creating my masterpiece of a website was going to be another giant step for Ming-kind. Instead, I came away feeling a little chastened for assuming that the dad's that developed blogger were hangin' out with the dad's that got Weebly into Time Magazine for it friendliness. Blogger is really easy to set up, use, and visually it has made itself fast friends with my intuitive side. I struggled a bit with Weebly, but hope to reapproach the whole situation tomorrow with a fresh flow of Peet's. There is something of the old magazine editing table that I miss -- you know I want to get my hands on the red paper and glue or tape or paint so I can make something on the screen look like my old highschool notebook with all its endless doodles and pictures, but I can't figure out how to get there ....yet. So the website has an entertaining picture provided by Weebly which I presume can be changed at some point and I can't get "new page" off my title line. There also appears to be a graphic shallowness to the site, that I hope can be enhanced. If any of you out in webolution universe have any tips for me so I can rise out of mediocrity, I'm all ears.

I felt the same way about the sort of general, "pictures that came with the frame" feel of the Weebly templates. I wanted to change it up and make it more personal, but being that it didn't give me that option in a painfully obvious way, I have yet to take it to that next level. By the by, your blog is a treat to read...
