Today I’ve been fooling around with Shutterbug (Xtralean) web design program. When I first read about it, it looked like it was going to be easy and quick, and with its featured Xtra boxes for inserting external services as counters, ads, comments....
Hmmm.... For a Demo, you have nice and simple templates. But things are not always what they seem. I was trying to, somehow, re-create my actual site made in iWeb. You can change a lot the templates and that I consider a plus but... after an hour, and this looking for help in their forum and user manual still can’t find the way to make a blog!!!!
I created a welcome page and that’s, more or less, fine for now. Then I’ve made a Group for photo albums and a Group for what’s supposed to be the blog. I also manage to create and album but I’m not very pleased with it.
... (time break)...
After going through the online user manual, I now know how to create Xtra boxes for HTML and other stuff like creating RSS feed, but still can’t get the way for a blog with entries as I did in iWeb. So I looked again in the Internet, and came across an almost clear definition for what Shutterbug does: it’s the perfect tool for quick galleries for journalism or photographers. So, no easy blog with Shutterbug.
That’s all for today.
