I can't design anything for toffee. I muck 
about with Xara Xtreme and end up with 
something I quite like to use as 'furniture' 
on the basic pages but it always ends up 
looking clunky or over-egged or just no good.

WordPress has a 'pages' feature I recall but 
it seems to be blogging software that is 
trying to be something else. I'm nervous 
about investing a lot of time on it only to 
discover that there are things I can't do 
after all and having to start again. Maybe I 
have to change the way I look at all this and 
re-consider my options.

Let's try a slightly different question. Any 
recommendations for anything similar to 
Blogger, WordPress or Terapad?

thanks,
