Re: Identifying PUB websites

You guys perhaps don't realize how much Eric is trying to help you.

Using Publisher to design websites is like using an adz to *square* a piece
of timber to fit in a *round* hole, when a electric wood lathe is really
what you should be using.

You should at least *try* some of the alternatives.

Sorry Don I wasn't intending to knock your web site, or anyone else's for
that matter - just David's rather ill-considered statement about tools &
skill.
Thing is, if you're using a rubbish tool for whatever it is you're doing,
you're always going to be constrained by that tool. And yes, you can
undoubtedly achieve better results by practice and learning how to better
use the tool - but that effort is essentially going to be wasted when you
finally hit the limits of the tool, and a lot of time and effort could
have been saved by getting a better tool in the first place.
(And that's without even considering the fact that many of the problems
raised here have actually been caused by the tool not working properly,
rather than the user not using it properly!).
The complexity of analogies here though is that in the case of making
good web pages, if you put the effort into learning and understanding
html & css, you won't actually need a 'tool', and many tools can in fact
become more of a hindrance than a help - so it's not just about price.
Maybe it's like riding a bicycle - when you've learnt how to do it, you
won't need outriders any more and won't fall off and hurt yourself so
much.

Eric,
Each organization that has a website does so for a specific purpose and
how and the quality is dependent on the resources of skill and finances.
I'm the first to admit I'm not an artist or highly skilled designer (of
websites). But my efforts of our Sons of Italy website, www.vanusa.org
is my best effort for, attracting those who wish to take part in Italian
heritage, customs, language and comradery get a posting of how to
contact us. The second, and maybe the most important use of the site is
the User name, Password protected area which contains current member
information, meeting minutes, announcements and other documents for
reference and interest.

So, you may knock our website; you may knock our lodge, but if you knock
mia nonna Apollonia's ravioli, we'll put you in the witness protection
plan. (As Tony Soprano would say)
If you can't identify the humor, you, with the prayers to Saint Swithins
are hopeless. (We use English Saints for the hopeless)

Ciao, mia amico.
