#Really Simple Publication (a sort-of-but-not-really conclusion)
As you may recall, I started this article thread back in September, asking the question:
“How do I teach web publication to a scientist and/or university professor? Someone who is obviously smart but also technologically UN-savvy?”
After setting some ground rules, we quickly eliminated Microsoft Word and all-but-eliminated iWeb. Then I went on a roughly nine month hiatus on this particular topic.
Why? For one, the original subject found a solution on her own. Much the fire’s fuel taken away, there was not much motivation left over. As I do not want to leave this unresolved however, I did make a vow to return to this and wrap it up.
The thrilling conclusion?
I really didn’t come up with (a good) one. Not that I could find. iWeb came close except for the publication matter. Word was way off. I did not consider Dreamweaver1. What’s left? Mostly web-based programs like Blogger or Vox. Given the original question and the original goal, I believe something like Vox would be the way to go.
Anyway: glad this is off my plate.
