Web Site under construction

Posted by:

On:

I’m endeavoring to fit myself into an “end user” role and developing this site using the tools provided by the host – Bluehost. It is a WordPress environment. The fit is not going well, as I find the user interface too constraining, cumbersome, and incomplete. Of course, this coming from a professional programmer used to prescribing every action and position . . .

So, some items and areas are still unfinished, some are functions are cumbersome, some are just plain ugly, and some are good enough for now.

Please stand by . . .
