One of the requirements for my most recent project<\/a> was that our findings were presented in the form of a website.<\/p>\n

This format was intended as a reprieve from the standard report-and-presentation method of assessment. I, however, was nonplussed at the prospect. I know<\/em> how to write, and to present, but I only know the very rudiments of HTML. Colleagues made a number of suggestions (“use CSS<\/a>“, “it’s easy, use Dreamweaver<\/a>“), and I dutifully read the manual and did some tutorials on both these topics. However, with a stack of predicted protein structures in one hand and a blank webpage in the other, I was not much the wiser about how to put the two together.<\/p>\n

So I am grateful to one helpful person<\/a> who pointed me in the direction of Andreas Viklund<\/a>, a Swedish Web Designer and Music Producer. On his website are some elegant website templates<\/a> which I was able to download, complete with accompanying CSS, and use to build my site.<\/p>\n

I made use of a number<\/a> of<\/a> open<\/a> source<\/a> and<\/a> free<\/a> to<\/a> use<\/a> tools<\/a> in the course of my project, and I am grateful for all of them. But I feel I owe Mr Viklund a particular thank-you, for allowing me to give my website a more professional finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
