The entire BlueGriffon Tutorial has been updated for the version 3 series of BlueGriffon. Those thinking of using it to create a website can find the complete series online.

For the sake of completeness (and also because a visitor requested it), the Layout Wizard has been updated to support one column websites as well. As a result, it can now create one, two and three column websites (depending on which you prefer). The generated web page is mobile-friendly and completely customizable. There are no advertisements, and nothing you enter into the Wizard is recorded anywhere. And it's free.

If you are thinking of designing a website, whether a business or hobby site, read How to Create a Website. The article has been updated with the latest developments on the Internet.
