Web dreams

Today I have been thinking lots about my website for the cookbook.  I have absolutely no idea how to build a website so I have done some research today and found a company called Square Space.  From what I can see already it is a service that offers templates, design, layout and editing capabilities for neophytes like me as well as managing all the domain registrations and infrastructure.  I have no experience with html and I mean absolutely none, so hopefully this will be easy enough that even a beginner like me can figure out how to build it.  

I would like to launch the website in the next little while to coincide with the release of the cookbook.  Apparently I can link my blog and the Facebook page to the website.  It also offers a community space which has got me thinking about whether readers would like to post some of their own stories of feeding their guy, or share photos of the delicious meal they just made, or swap recipes. It would be a great way for everyone to learn and share.  I am not sure if anyone would like it or not but it could be an idea.  As much as I see using InDesign as daunting, doing the website will be even scarier.  If I make mistakes it will be out there for everyone to see immediately, oh, the joys of the World Wide Web!!!!  I certainly have lots of pictures of my own food and snaps of food from around the world during my holidays that I could share so if the job is to create a great big picture book, I’m the one to do it.  Out to dinner tonight with friends so no cooking for me and no transcribing of recipes either. With every sweet there seems to be some sour!  Friends, family and love first, work on the book second!
