So I've decided I should probably get started on my website. Rather than using iWeb on a Mac, I thought it would be easier, more convenient, and more easily accessible if I tried out freewebs.com. And, low and behold, it is easier.
The only trouble I'm having is, alas, figuring out how to go about "selling" myself as a professional. Go figure, I can write reams of papers, but marketing myself is the difficult part! I'm sure I'm not the only one.
As per Karen, here's my site (definitely under construction...): Dawn's Professional Teacher Site
No real info on it yet...just messing with form, I guess, and trying to get my blog up there as well. The music is great, though, huh?

Dawn, good start. Yes, I like the music.
It's hard to tell what freeweb will allow you to do in contrast to iWeb. One diff. is the commercials on freeweb...does it look more like a Myspace or Facebook site rather than a professional website?
I'm just raising questions about the two programs.
We would prefer that you use iWeb because you can import other work you've done with the iLife apps...easier? I don't know. But if access is an issue then I understand why you want to use freeweb.
I look forward to seeing how you want to develop this site.
Is "Who I Want to Be" as effective in presenting a professional "self" as a statement of who you are? I don't know.
It's perfectly ok to name the website: "Dawn Larson." Did you keep your name when you married? Is this your married name? I ask because I would include your own name with "Larson" if in fact Larson is your husband's name.
I know you're just playing around with the concept at this point and that's exactly what we want you to do. So these are just questions and suggestions, not dictates of course.
I would have left a message on your freeweb blog if it were up...so that's next?
Dawn,
I agree, freewebs is convenient. Good job. Adding photo, music, or video is easy. However, I prefer to link my video to youtube since it seems to run video smoother. However, I'm not sure how much personal information I want the world know.
Hi Dawn, having trouble logging in to comment you, but I just wanted to say thank you for finding an adaquadt PC application!! Your website is coming along really nice too!
