Potching and Fail

madrobinsI have been trying to put together a website for myself, and one for Sarah Tolerance. Potching around in iWeb, the site builder that comes with the current version of the Mac OS, I have, at least, a draft of each (although I need to gather up some content to slap in there).
And I've been getting recommendations about hosting sites. So today the Spouse said someone recommended Squarespace, particularly because of the site building/editing tools. They have a free 14-day trial period, no credit card needed, and if at the end that time you don't want to follow up--poof! it goes away. So I signed on, and have spent the last two hours trying to rebuild a version of what I did on iWeb on Squarespace. They may think it's easy and intuitive, but it's not. Want to put a picture on your website? I'm sure there's a way to do it, but it's difficult to find out exactly how. I don't want a "gallery," I want one piece of art. I want it the size I want it.
Grumble, grumble. I've got 13 more days to figure this out, then I bail.
