In the spirit of "no excuses". . .

I am replacing the demands of an entire site with my new blog page. The functionality without the fuss. This blog will chronicle the creative path while keeping me on task. I will also be updating Mortal Mom Writes (life journey) as my work allows. So grab a pen, put on painting smock or a lovely purple scarf. Let's get to work.

Day Two: Google Sites

After I struggled a bit yesterday with Blogger, I received some advice to try Google sites. This would be great (or so I thought). I could get a more classic website appearance thank just a one-page blog, use preprogrammed bits of Google goodness (such as a calendar) in a more prepackaged web design. All I really wanted to customize was the header. I customized my Blogger header. Blogger and Google are under the same umbrella. I'd have it done in no time.

No such luck. I can't figure out the dimensions to upload artwork that will fit. Even when I get the artwork uploaded it has a border. HTML won't load. And it still has the generic page title in big bold letters, which I somehow can't delete. I tried googling for help, but googling "google site" with any combination of other words does not yield helpful results. I am back to my jaded self. But if I can't even manage a simple header, what then?

Nap? Try again? Move onto actual writing? Clean my desk? Get out some watercolors and move outside?

My eyes are bugging. I think nap will win in the short term. I call on the dream world for my next step.
