I have not created a web site before so I had to do a fair amount of research before I started. I looked at numerous photographic sites to familiarise myself with layout and to decide on the type of format I would like to go with.
I created the site using i-Web on the i-Mac and took my domain from Streamline.net. The initial page set-up was relatively easy and then I had to hyperlink the pages. My initial attempt at publishing ran into difficulties when my domain site would not open up. It kept looping round and I discovered that this was due to a set-up issue and it was rectified in due course.
Layout Problems
I had republished the site numerous times as I changed the layout of the pages, added or deleted photographs or changed the order of them to give the slideshow a more cohesive feel. In doing this I did not take into account the fact that it takes up to 48hour for each 'publish' change to show up on the website online. This being the case it may be a few weeks before the final draft of the website is actually available on the search engine.
