Yes, I know that I will probably have a very steep learning curve! But, I will give it a try and maybe have some fun along the way. I cannot afford to pay very much as it is only a library website, but I will keep the free WordPress.com blog in case I get really stuck. Thanks Anne

Thanks for your ideas, Matt. I decided to go for a hosted WordPress site in the end as I am reasonably familiar with it. The bare bones of the site are at: Dixie Grammar School Library Library Online I am going to play around with it over the summer and see what happens. Thanks Anne

I am a school librarian and have created a number of sites in the past using Frontpage, then Dreamweaver. I have also done a lot with our VLE, Kaleidos, to make the library sections look interesting. Now, I am about to start a new job, the library is very old and will be re-furbished next year. In the meantime, I will have to run a web-based service and I really want to wow the students and staff with a really dynamic website. What I am asking is advice as to how I should best do this. I will be working alone, with no clerical support, so I will not have a lot of time. The Dreamweaver ftp idea takes up too much time. So, I have thought of using something like Wordpress. I have played around with it on a free version. If I go down this route, what would be the best hosting package? I have read a lot on this forum about your Joomla! package and it looks really great. But I am not sure that I have the technical ability to go with this idea. I would really appreciate some advice, Anne
