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…
Congrats with another milestone Rachel!
Well done. A useful place for book/exhibition/contact stuff sounds like a good idea. Leaving the blog for more experimental and ongoing projects.
Very exciting and a useful way of keeping everything in one place and easily accessible for anyone who specifically wants more information about the Amana project.
What a milestone you have reached – the book is published and the website is up and running. You are such an accomplished lady. Best of luck for good sales and many inquiries about further work on Amarna.
I look forward to the progress on your other projects (on the blog) as well.
The book arrived in the US. I got in under the wire before all the tariff mess kicked in.
And the book is marvelous.
Another impressive achievement! You’ve done a great job with the website.
Another milestone materialised. Congrats!
