It occurred to me that there are probably plenty of artisans out there who don't have websites to showcase their work. I know not everybody likes to brag, but just showing what you're working on might help somebody else with what they're working on.
I know a lot of people use LJ for a personal journal and for dress diaries, but I thought it might be fun to explore how to set up what looks like a more traditional website than a blog. I've been playing with the idea of transitioning my own website into a wordpress blog, so as to more easily control content without having to deal with HTML, FTP, and a lot of other acronyms. But really, it's possible to do this in a format that anybody reading this is probably already familiar with, LJ.
I'm sure that none of this is news to a lot of people, but I started playing around today, and thought I'd share. Maybe it'll be useful to somebody. I don't think I'll keep the other journal all that up to date, rather, I'll likely use it more as a template or sample to share. Then again, you never know. I might break down and use a dress diary. Generally, I prefer to subject all of my readers to kid pictures along with medievalism posts. Muh hah ha... *ahem*
So, without further ado, I present
How to Have a Website for No Money or Technical Skill (at Costly Thy Habit). It's created entirely using the LJ Text editor (yes I WAY prefer just using the HTML editor, but a lot of people don't know HTML) and Flickr. I did just copy a bunch of stuff over from my other site, so there are links to PDFs which, as far as I know, you can't really put on the web without a place to host them, but other than that, you can do everything there for free and without tech skills.
Hope this is useful!
