I’m currently going back to making websites on HTML+CSS (and maybe some server-side code) after doing that for a little over a year in 2000 (in a country that wasn’t quite “there” yet technologically speaking). Unfortunately I was forced to stop doing that for several years and haven’t been able to keep up with the trends and what not. I’ve registered a domain for a travel website idea I got. So far, I have a specific audience/target and content, and a rough idea of the layout/concept.

The website is half way done thanks to Dreamweaver. I’m not a Photoshop expert and I think what I do best is play with words. My site will have travel articles from a specific perspective, with photo galleries and maybe a video gallery if I continue taking short videos with my camera.

I probably won’t have the time to update every day or every week, but for sure once or twice a month, or more depending on time.

Do you think I should have a “static” HTML or a blog like site? I don’t really like blogs but I’ve seen some WP templates out there, and I even have one if I can modify the colors according to my concept (and assuming I can run a WP server to try the things on locally before uploading them to the hosting place). Let me add that I have no clue as to how to use WP so that would be a bit of a learning curve for me (but if a blog like site is better for this idea, I’ll get on it), while I can handle Dreamweaver, HTML+CSS pretty well, I’m just not that good with the design part, making logos, etc.

TIA
