I have 3 things I really need to do*
1. Re-do my website
2. Sort out Photos of Leah
3. Create a Leah DVD from my Camcorder
1. Redo my Site
I stupidly decided to re-design my website, I say stupidly as rather than do the redesign then upload and replace the current version, I took the site down with a "Coming Soon" message. After a few months, the site is still coming soon, I am intending on using a template site to base it on, with tabbed tops that link to photos, family, gadgets and other stuff. I have yet to find the template to use but will ned to get it done very soon.2. Sort out Photos of Leah
I have thousands of photos of Leah, I want to pick the best 100 and create a photo album from birth.3. Create a DVD
I now have lots of footage which I intend on creating a DVD from, the trouble with home movies however is the 100 hours of footage you start with ends up being 5 minutes of decent film. I have a HD (Hard Drive) Camera so the transfer to my PC will be easy, I intend on using Sony Vegas to capture the footage, something like Adobe Premier for editing and maybe After Effects for any special effects, titles etc.I guess it all boils down to a: being arsed and b: having the inspiration/creative flair to do so, Unlike Taoski, I'm far from creative, getting my ideas from t'internet bores the hell out of me.
Therefore
- My website is will be a very basic, quick loading site
- Leahs Photo Album is fairly straightforward, I have messed around ith Photoshop and created some half-decent photos
- The DVD will be a "pre-release" therefore not have any special effects
* I actually have about 33 things to do but SWMBO doesn't read my blog so the other 30 "house things" can go on hold.

Good plan matey!
1. Install wordpress on your site.
You can then blog there, add pages and links to stuff and there are 1000s of designs/themes to choose from.
Much less hassle than doing a whole site IMHO.
2. I was going to suggest you make a photobook using one of the online facilties. The Apple iPhoto photo books are really good. If your local Tesco sells Apple stuff - go there - they have some examples.
3. iMove on the Mac will do all of that for you! In one program!
(sorry - mac fanboy entry ends...)
Thanks for that Tao, not exactly a cheap way of getting it all done though...
