I have made progress this morning on Sandvox. It is possible to use copy & paste to move formatted text from a Pages file to a Sandvox file. Another important feature is to create new Sandvox pages without a side-bar and then insert Media Placeholders. I like the Minty Fresh design for the overall web site.

Although the wind was howling I decided to do a coulee walk this morning. A little walking is a good thing.

I was struggling with a couple of features of Sandvox for much of the afternoon and then finally found the appropriate technique to get the links working among the pages.

I have transferred information from my Pages files as well as a few photos from my iPhoto file and now have this web site ready for publishing. I am impressed with how easy this has turned out. I have only been using the software since noon. I still have some work to do to get my Activities web pages up, and I want to explore a few other options for this site, but overall I am delighted with my progress so far. This entire website was created without any recourse to HTML or CSS or any form of explicit coding. It is totally a matter of drag-and-drop plus some typing .
