Well, no, since I have been planning to implement this since April, and already regard the delay (entirely caused by me so far) as pretty bad news. I will love HTML5 deployment when it comes out, but it would not be sensible to hold my breath on that one; and even then I may need intensive tutorials about how to code a web site using tools that don’t take me too far out of my comfort zone. I have had some experience of such tools and have retreated to using very very simple web site construction software where the height of sophistication is a PayPal ‘Buy Now’ button.
