This is basically just a quick & dirty blog to document the steps taken, stumbles made and milestones achieved while starting Dissoi-Logoi.com.

It all kind of starts with Rapidweaver, which is a website builder for the Mac. It really is pretty slick -- just easy enough for dolts like us to be able to put up a pretty good site, and just advanced enough for dolts like us to really mess one up.

Our latest frustration has been with fonts. Rapidweaver uses "themes" which are pre-canned layouts. Some of those themes let you choose a font, but since of course not all machines (especially those running Windows) have a decent selection of fonts, it reverts back to the closest font it can find. In the latest iteration of Font Hell, it went from a monotype corsovia to some godawful courier mutation on the PC at work. Rapidweaver does have a "use web-safe fonts" option with a choice of 5 or 6 fonts. We'll try changing all of our text to one of those and see how it goes.
