I didn't mean to suggest that you should be a designer, nor that you are somehow deficient as a person because your page isn't professionally produced, and I regret very much if my words gave that impression.
Hmm. And I hadn't meant to come across as a bear, only to point out that we all put weight on different things. The grandmother who taught me my needlework, for instance, was horrified if the back side of a piece of embroidery was any less perfect than the front. I, OTOH, felt I was doing well if the front side wasn't all knotted up.
I can perfectly understand that the arrangements on the Fledgling site might be horrifying to someone who Cares Deeply about web design. Certainly, a link that goes nowhere is frustrating just on general principles.
But.
We're stretched pretty thin at the moment, so we're doing a buncha things for our convenience, and as memory aids. Better that it be ugly but right, than Totally Screwed Up because one of us Forgot, or were rushed.
Oh, lord. Now Miri's saying in my head, "Feisty old toot, was she?"
(Egad, what's the encore? Dyk popping through the door shouting "I like ponies!"? Plainly I need a nice long nap.)
As for the site, it's more important that it work for you two than it is that a link goes Noplace in Particular. Sometimes I forget that not everyone's as compulsive as I am. Also, the design is nice and simple and functional. What's not to like with that?
