A website for Dreams of Amarna

The Dreams of Amarna book and project now has a website!

Not without some muttering and spluttering, I admit. Many years ago, I had some understanding of designing websites – quite simple ones, but still, I could do it.

That is no longer the case. There is altogether too much to deal with, too many different browsers and devices, too many changes of standard and best practice, not to mention technologies.

So instead, I used one of the templating services, said to provide an intuitive interface for developing a reliably working website.

I would argue that “intuitive” is entirely the wrong word, but after about five do-overs, I got there in the end.

It’s not wildly complicated, and it is no substitute for this blog, which will continue as before. It’s not meant as a substitute.

It is meant, in fact, to make life easier all round. For anyone specifically interested in the Dreams of Amarna, anyone who wants to help me plan and prepare the hoped-for exhibition, anyone who wants me to give a talk for their group – there’s a single point on the web where they can find me, and from which they can contact me.

I should probably have tried to get it ready earlier, but then, I hadn’t had Bernard Rose’s fabulous product and author photoshoot before…
