 I'm feeling pretty out of my depth at the moment. See, for ages I've had the idea of putting up my own website to showcase my work to potential employers, and I'm fine designing websites, even pretty complicated ones, with Dreamweaver... but actually putting it up on the web is something I have no experience of, and all these website hoster sites ( Read more... )
