found drama

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 Dreamweaver ¹.  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.
