Picking up on Linda Ellisıs question . . .
I freely admit that I know next to nothing about technology but I have
created and am now running a very handsome-looking website, full of
content which I update every couple of weeks, for a tiny fraction of that
price - about fifteen hundred pounds to set it up and about seventy pounds
a month to run it. I agree there are no apps involved and I do have the
help of a highly affordable and helpful technician (thatıs where the
seventy pounds a month goes) and I agree that I am a novice when it comes
to technology - but really thatıs my point. If I can do it . . .
The website is the Museum of Marco Polo at wwww.momarcopolo.com.
Best.
