TECH: Web Hosting Blues

My old/defunct HTML website.
One of several problems.

I recently set up my website using a book that I borrowed for a friend called teach yourself HTML. I use that book to code my illustration website 20 or so years ago.

The website has largely fallen into desuetude. Or in simple English, disuse it shouldn’t have. But it has.

The blog component of my website has always been what I regard as an adjunct. Secondary to the main shop window that my website is intended to be, for my Art music and illustration.

I have absolutely no loyalty to any particular code. But I do want my website to act both as a wind shop window for my creative endeavours, while simultaneously featuring a blog that runs alongside.
