Try adding a tag yourself by clicking "Add a tag" below a post's header. Scroll down through the list of Recent Posts in the left column and click on a post title that sounds interesting. You can view all posts from a specific blog by clicking the Blog name in the right column, or you can click a 'More Posts from this Blog' link in any individual post.
One of my goals for this year is to relaunch my personal website Madeline Smoot.com. As you probably saw if you just clicked over, it's horrendously out of date and awfully childish. I want a more mature, adult look for the site I present to the world.
So, I'm thinking of going with something more like this.
Now that page is just a test. The links go nowhere at the moment (except for my blog), and I still haven't gotten my posted excerpts from my blog to show up. Oh, and you might have noticed that there isn't any actual information in the text block for the middle. However, it is something of visual interest to look at.
I would love to get feedback on the new look, especially if it does something wonky in your browser. Of course I've tested it in my browser at different screen resolutions, but I don't have every browser ever made. If you do comment, please let me know your browser type and screen resolution (if you know it). My stat tracker can tell me the number of people who use what, but they won't link it to an individual comment.
I appreciate any and all comments. And since I'm doing this myself, I can directly incorporate the stuff you give me to think about without having to involve a designer. -- One of the few benefits of doing everything yourself.
Websites.
You get to update lots and lots of websites. There's Amazon and Barnes & Noble (which Boss does) and the other major online retailers as well as all sorts of industry sites like Bowker's Books in Print.
And then, of course, there is my own. I have finally got the CBAY Books site all prettied up with accurate covers and an authors page. Curious about what my authors look like? Click on over and take a look.
And since at the moment I'm the webmaster for the Blooming Tree site (except for the store. I take no responsibility for the store.), I've gotten that site all updated too. Make sure you hit refresh on the home page you can see the new graphic with all of our 2008 books. I'm particularly pleased with that. And as soon as Marketing provides me the copy, I'll have all our authors and links to their homes on the web on that site as well.
Now, I'll stop tooting my own horn.
Back to work.
Now that is a pretty graphic! The Emerald Tablet cover looks delicious if I do say so myself.
Is it an odd coincidence that David and I were born 11 days apart? Both Taurus, too.
But I must say - they are tortoises, not turtles! No one realizes there really is a difference until they own one (or two).
Everything looks super awesome! Thanks for all the hard work :)
I bet your authors so appreciate your dilligence!!!
