Website creation can be one hell of a pain!

Hello!
Well so much for me posting regular... I do have a valid excuse though, sheer amount of work. And trust me, there has been alot. Stuff from school work, to house work to other random work, and it hasnt stopped for the past week and a bit.
My main project of late is using a website called 'Weebly'. I was asked by my karate instructor to help them create a website for their newly created karate association. Because of my nature, I agreed, and after going through various options of how to make it, 'weebly' appeared.

I needed to set it up as quickly as possible, and did not have time to spend trying to build one up from scratch. Now i have designed the odd free webpage in the past, but most of them have faded into obscurity, but this one is official, and we are hoping to evolve as time goes by, Here is the website, its still a tad rough round the edges, but has been built in about a week, with another week just building up content for it.

The great thing about weebly is that its all WYSIWYG designing, and is fairly customisable too. It would be nice if it was a bit more flexible adding pictures, but its totally free, and if your smart, can get a decent url without the weebly prefix, as weebly charge you to make your own...It also allows html, a link to flickr and all other cool things, which many free website creators don't allow.

So that was one project, I also attempted to make a 'Yahtzee' style video for a IT project (cannot upload it now, will do soon). Now I'm quite into the kinda humour that Ben 'Yahtzee' Crosshaw, and similary Charlie Brooker (youtube the name) use, however crude and cynical it is.

The editing of the next level show is going ok from what the editor tells me, which means it should be fine, because as soon as you let me near editing software, things break...

So that kinda ties up my recap blog, will think of summat more interesting to write soon...before my mind dries up again...
