I'll take some creativity, please

After first going to Uganda in 2006, I created a website for my friend's organization, Africa Greater Life Mission, because all he had at that point was some ghetto msn group. I "taught" myself photoshop and dreamweaver, stumbed through the process of website creation and domain hosting...in the end I built a site much like a massive wall composed primarily of gaping holes....

It worked, though, enough to communicate the mission and programs of AGLM, and give people enough information to encourage their inquiry into volunteering in Uganda and supporting AGLM. A year and a half later, this site is still functioning! although, for me, visiting it is much like reading a journal entry from 7th grade (I heart Jorge Gonzales??? lol cringe.) And pretty much, if I tried to fiddle with the actual files/site links, I'm pretty sure the whole thing would explode.

Basically, I'm trying to design a whole new thing from scratch, keeping it simple simple simple..but I'm out of ideas for the design of the content on each page...or out of mental energy to actually deal with it. This is all I've got


Seriously, at this point, I wish it would just complete itself. Maybe AGLM should join myspace?

Check out Wordpress.com

it functions much like a blog but allows more features and multiple pages and creativity. You could also keep their domain name, so they'd be going to whatever the AGLM site is but it would link directly to the blog... make sense?
