I’m well happy that Simon Carr finally has webspace. But what’s with that URL? And why no RSS?

I know, I know… it’s all a bit shaky – but that does little to dent how chuffed I am that he’s online at last.

A very welcome arrival indeed, but I’m gonna have to second Peter’s observations.

Hey, we offered to help (as you know). A man has to find his own path, and I’m prepared to give Simon a lot of leeway.

Excellent news. Henry Porter next, please.

Tried accessing his site from 3 different machines, and it crashed Internet Explorer on all of them :(

Jherad: This from Simon’s email telling us about the site…It doesn’t like PCs with older Internet Explorer as the browser. Itlikes Macs, and will tolerate Safari, Firefox or Mozilla. Bloody picky,really. I hope to prevail on my designer t do something more generallyapplicable but he gets quite rude about people who have out of date kit (twoyears old is pre-Cambrian).ChickYog: Terry Jones tops my wish-list. Here’s one small reason why:http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1239824,00.html

Heheh, well I tried one with XP and IE6, and 2 with NT4 and IE5.5sp2 – my fault for sticking with MS, but I’m being naughty and browsing from work.I’ll take a look when I get home, I’m expecting much goodness.

A quick scan of the page source for his site shows that he’s using Apple’s iWeb 1.1.1, which appears to be Apple’s answer to Macromedia Contribute (sort of)…Actually all the reviews I read of iWeb are non too gentle about its limitations – it’s a blogging system, Jim, but not as we know it.It’ll apparently do RSS but no comments or trackbacks as its got no server-side backend.
