… of the night
Most of my work week was spent on the university website I mentioned last time. I’m learning my way around a new content management system and starting to build the pages for the new site. I find this sort of thing fun, but maybe that’s just me.
It’s quite satisfying finding your way round a new interface – I wonder what this does? How do you make this happen? Is this a bug or is it just me? Ah, that’s how it works! – and familiarising yourself by just getting on with it.
And while the content creation phase of a project – research, writing, editing – is usually enjoyable, seeing something take shape is particularly rewarding. Also, the tools available these days are so much easier to use than when I started out making websites in the late 1990s. (Apparently Dreamweaver is still going – but I can’t see myself using it in the near future.)
