I’ve chosen to include it because it serves as good example of how you to go from zero to a working web site:

4 hours work resulted in:

  • Site name registered, email address & web space created, theme chosen (Kvarken) and initial site going live.
  • And thereafter updated online, usually via a mobile data link with new posts for new places visited.
  • Email shot support:
    • address capture & auto mail shot for each new post
  • 4 pages, 35 blog posts and 150 images and 3 or 4 youtube videos
