You are now officially...

my heroes . With the release of Designer 7, I decided to give the tools for web design a shot. I have tried a lot of similar programs but none did what they promised, so actually my expectations were quite low. Man, was I wrong...
I started laying out some pages, adding site navigation in the intuitive way I was used, using Xara. Added texts, graphics and then did an export to show my creation... hmmmmm everything seemed to work . With some help from the Help files and the forums I actually added a photo album, Facebook and Twitter functionality and still: everything seemed to work
The real proof of the pudding was uploading it to my website. I did backup my old site of course (just in case) - but everything seemed to work

It still needs a lot of tweaking but here's the result of a weekend's work: http://www.digitalthangka.com

Thanks for the great extension to my creativity!

One small nag: .htm extension? Really? Where can I change that to .html?

Well done Fred.

Name your home page index.html and all your other pages will have the .html extension. (Go to your home page, then Website Properties > Page > Page Filename enter index.html)

That easy huh

like the site, I think you will find that for creative wysiwyg design nothing comes close to xara. By th way, why do you need it to be html, htm works just as well.

I like your site Fred. I, like skech, am also curious at to why you prefer html to htm Gary.

[Fred vanderZee]

.htm is a dos remnant: only 3 character extensions were allowed back then. .html was kinda 'official'. Guess I am -very- old school

BTW Images on the site are all done in xara as well of course - as you mihgt have guessed.
