Been lurking long enough...

Time to step out of the shadows and say hi! I've wanted to for a while, but couldn't bring myself to to do it because I've been so ashamed... I have to confess; I'm guilty of using a
WYSIWYG program to build my site. But I really didn't know any better at the time - just wanted to get my portfolio on line (paintings, illustrations, graphic design work). But of course, no one WYSIWYG can do everything one would want, and I found myself scrounging the internet for "how to do...". So my site has been abandoned while I try to learn to do this the right way. I'm glad to see there's a lot of other newbies here, as well as you 'old' pros to help us along!
so... Hi to everyone from Callie!

Cool Re: Been lurking long enough...

Welcome! I too am a little guilty of using a template for my own page. I am still in the process of learning and I don't think that I will ever stop learning new coding skills. The people "experts" here can and will help in every way possible. Just ask questions and answer the questions that you do know.

See you around!

Re: Been lurking long enough...

Thanks for the encouragement, Nashultz07 and Sannbe. Yes, it's time to jump in and get going on this, instead of putting it off until I learn just a little bit more... 'cause there's always going to be more to learn. Of course, that's how I justify hours spent reading webforumz instead of actually working on anything!

Yes, this place can be like a drug. But just remember how much you are learning and enjoy it.

Hi Callie

We love reformed lurkers No need to be embarrassed about your previous use of wysiwig, what's important is that you have now seen the light! (and besides, there's not many on here who could honestly say, hand on heart, that they didn't start out with wysiwig).
