Never visited a blog? Hell, you need to get out less.....

Got addicted to Usenet before the WWW came along innit. TAAAW, I've never tweeted, don't visit Farcebook and only allow cookies for 'the session'
I'm completely with you on the text based front, I much prefer Usenet and E-Mail to any of the web based ways of talking.
My first browser was Mosaic, and I still have my first modem (not in use, I hasten to add) which plugged into the back of an Amstrad PCW 8256 and ambled at a note-in-a-forked-stick rate, and preceded my great leap into IBM-compatibles.
I think I still have my DOS 4 (5ΒΌ") floppies somewhere, and I do have my six Linux FT CDs...
I'm with you with most of that, I don't have my oldest modem but I do have my USR Courier one still. There are still some 5.25" disks around though they're mostly rotting in the garage now. I have a set of Elonex DOS 4 floppies.
However what I was asking for has nothing much at all to do with *interactive* sites. There are web sites out there that aren't forums/blogs/mySpace/facebook/twitter you know.
What I'm after is a way to create a (fairly) simple web presence for a small business that looks presentable but doesn't require me to code everything from scratch. I.e. a nice selection of tunable templates offering menus/sidebars etc. so that I can just concentrate on creating the content. There will be no selling over the web (it's a consultancy and training business in the main) so it's essentially a 'read only' web site.
