Frustration

I've had a frustrating weekend. For a couple of weeks my posts have been slightly sparser than usual because I've been distracted by trying to set up a new site for Mr. Bsag to sell his paintings from. This was supposed to be a fairly leisurely affair on my part, as there was no great deadline looming. However—as it has a habit of doing—fate intervened, and the other half got an exhibition of his work at a local alternative therapy clinic (which also has gallery space to soothe patients while they wait for their appointments). So now I really want to get the site up and running so that visitors to the exhibition can follow up by visiting the online gallery—and this is the main point—buy lots of paintings so that we can pay our rent next month.

But I'm finding trying to do a full time job in the day and build a fairly complex website from scratch in the evenings and weekends pretty exhausting. I thought that I'd got a nice structural, standards-compliant markup sorted out late last week, but when I checked it in other browsers it broke rather spectacularly. Gah! I had intended to get the bulk of it done this weekend, but I ended feeling so tired and dispirited by the whole thing that I got practically nothing done. I need a break...
