Making a Research Website...

**NB** If you came here in search of advice on how to make successful research websites, I'm sorry, but I can't help you...

After spending all day trying to learn basic HTML I feel fine...I said I feel fine ok.



I've experienced some highs and lows, but the joy I felt after working out the CSS code to remove unwanted headings was, I can say, parallel to nothing else, ever.


Realising this information was already conveniently outlined for me on the university's on line 'how to' guide was, however,  a low point, I can't deny that.

My day brightened up a little when an unfortunate "staff copy and paste error" landed in my inbox from the IT Support Department...


But this moment of carefree revelling in the stupidity of others was to be quickly overshadowed my own absolute ineptitude...

Me: "Yes, I'm sure that the authorization for my site template hasn't been set up correctly, I've followed all of your recommendations for how to upload images into my personal database and it's not working so the pathway is definitely flawed".

IT Support Operator: "Yeah have you clicked the + button next to your site's image folder?"

Me: "Er, no, nope I've not done that actually...


Can't wait for tomorrow, what's that you say, onto SEO?!
