I enjoy creating websites, but so far all I've mastered is weebly's drag-and-drop interface

Web design use to be a hobby of mine. I made a little cash off it back in the day. When WordPress came out I switched my sites over to them then when hard times hit I moved everything to Tumblr.

We've come a long ways since the days of simple html tags. It's good knowledge to have though especially if you are trying to fix a badly formatted eBook.

I've thought about trying to compose before, but never really tried. Do you have any pieces anywhere online?

Designing and maintaining mostly. I also did some graphic design. It was back in the day of banners, buttons and horrible textured backgrounds. Flash was in it's infancy and what was php? Everything was CGI scripts. guestbooks were big back then and web circles. lol style sheets were the newest thing and a huge welcomed changed.

Mozilla actually had a website design tool then. It was a very long time ago. I used Dreamweaver back then.

My music is very simply arranged. You must know I have had no training. One day I'll upload something to youtube.

Reading, drumming (With a 70's -> 80's heavyband), trains.
The train stuff is actually new. I have bought an n-scale set. I love putting modelhouses together, creating trees from strange stuff in the garden. Right now I'm in the process the creating a fence out of toothpicks, and trying to make it look like old tree.
