    Hi all. Earlier this year, someone posted about Adobe Contribute
    (Thanks!), a program that allows you to manage the content your own
    website. I bought it, but quickly realized that I really needed to
    revise my website structure first. I put out an Orchid call for a
    Dreamweaver designer who could get into the nuts and bolts. That call
    was answered by our own Bev Ludlow (www.bevludlow.com), who did a
    terrific job flogging things into shape. She was a delight to work
    with and I recommend her highly! And she's a Mac and I'm a PC! 

    I chained myself to the computer to learn how to use Contribute. The
    learning curve was way lower than expected. The program is very
    intuitive to use, and in no time I was editing text and swapping
    pictures. It was easy! I had been procrastinating for years about
    learning this stuff, much to the detriment of my site. I even stopped
    signing off here with my site link, I was so embarassed by the state
    of things. 

    So, FINALLY, things are up to date. I'm still not happy with the
    photography, but I'm working on it, and it's way better than what I
    was using before. But the logjam is broken for good! 

    How many of you out there are website procrastinators? Thinking about
    a site but haven't gotten around to it? Have one but haven't updated
    lately? Get off your ass! The weight that was lifted from my
    shoulders by getting this done is enormous. And I'm proud of my site
    again, which feels great! Much thanks to Bev and the great Orchid
    community!
