Ok. Back from Hastings where my patient friend Tracy has shepherded me through finding my domaine name [still there after several years] originally a present from my son who said grab the .com while it’s available. Turns out he has been paying for it for me. How lovely is that?
So – domaine name, hosting and finally a decision on a template/theme for website.
I had carefully made a paper ‘website’ and scanned a website I liked the look of.
Have returned with one that isn’t as I imagined but does all the right things for the right reasons; like being responsive ie changing shape on IPhones etc [ which I knew nothing about] and it still retains the feel I wanted. Hooray.
Next trip down I will be taught how to turn my content into pages…so – videos on Vimeo and search out those images in the right resolutions….
Thankyou to my mates who posted to say keep out the art speak and let in the light.
Looking to see when the Grayson Perry Reith lecture is going to be broadcast [October 15th on Radio 4] I see that apart from basically looking at Is it art? Is it any good? and Who says so? he has had a go at art labels. ‘Grayson Perry and the “metaphysical seasickness” you get from too much art speak ..’
Quite.
I love that man.He brings such clarity and honesty to everything he talks about. I feel my whole self relax when he talks. Took two middle aged gentlemen to see him talk at the V&A – they were totally won over by him – and he was speaking as Clare. Extrodinary.
