And Here Is My Website

noreply@blogger.com (Leny L.) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:48:00 +0000

The Website (www.lenyart.com) looks like this:

I created my online portfolio at Office Live Small Business.

Why?

Because I wanted customizable templates & my own email address.

Free & Accessible 24/7.

UPDATE: CUSTOM DOMAIN NAME RENEWAL FEE - you may have to pay for Domain Name Renewal once a year but, before you scream in outrage at Microsoft, shop around & do the maths.

So, anyway, I'm in charge of what goes where & how - whenever I want.

Did The Website look like this from the start?

No.

It's been tweaked, streamlined & entirely redone over & over.

Thanks to Advanced Design Features, I'm not limited to preset layouts & colour schemes anymore.

Lucky me.

I created the image-viewing galleries by simply linking thumbnails to images. It's all behind-the-scenes work. No additional software required. Just a little patience and a long wet weekend.

So, by clicking on an image in the Gallery - my version of the homepage - this is what happens:

And once there:

And so on...

UPDATE: I've just changed the categories again, but that's the idea.

Office Live is Microsoft - I use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer so some links can & do appear with a blue underline for technical reasons unknown.

UPDATE: A little custom CSS code and everything matches.

So now you know.
