Welcome to my piece of vanity publishing. When I
first had to do a web page for a course, all I could
think of was to put together some links on things
I liked and that interested me. Since then, quite
a lot of people have looked at my thoughts on using
chat on a website as a means of exchanging information,
and adding my family trees
has attracted the attention of some long-lost cousins
.
Recently, hearing someone say they'd looked at the
site made me realise that was more than I'd done for
a while, and when I did I saw it in a new light. I
knew I was - to put it mildly - unversed in graphic
design (I know what I like and I think I understand
why I like it, but don't have the imagination, skill
or patience to create).
More embarrassing, the content was - is - more than
a bit thin and disjointed: the curse of the personal
homepage - more about this in my
thoughts on blogging.
I was too mean to want to pay more for the space
to keep updating the holiday
snaps here (not to mention running out of energy
to keep on scanning old photos): so the bulk of them
are on flickr. I've a
few scrappy videos at YouTube as well.
