Targeting Your HTML
I thought I had blogged on this before but Blogger is being difficult, and I can’t find the post. So I’m posting (reposting?) for reference, as there are some bloggers out there that still need to learn this lesson. For all examples in this explanation, we are going to use [ and ] but when…

On Beta Reading
I have finished the second draft of my middle grade fantasy, PRINCE OF CATS. To make sure I’m reaching my target readership appropriately, I have enlisted many of my nieces and nephews (and a few friends who are of the appropriate age) to read the draft and give me feedback. Now, since most of them…

SEO What
It’s never too early to start. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. You may see a lot of ads around the internets for SEO companies that will help you game the system. They understand the value of links to and from your content to work your way through Google’s algorithm. Once upon a time it…

iFrames coming around
My website/blog merger is now 95% complete. I ended up keeping (but rephrasing and restructuring) the various lists of work because I find those lists help me choose what to work on next. I got rid of the book covers and blurbs and decided to save those for when I have an actual published book…

Relax! (Go to it)
As previously mentioned, I participated in Sara Megibow’s Writer’s Digest webinar last week.

Not all the things she mentioned had to…

Changes are Afoot

I have changes I want to make to my website that I simply cannot do with webs. It’s showing its age and my site looks much more amateurish than it did three years ago…

Flashback
So there’s a lot of chatter on Twitter lately about blog designs and website builds and etc etc. If you have not been to my website, this is the minimum level of quality I expect for a user-created website. Blogger and like services are expanding their styles to blend the boundaries between blogs and websites,…

Websites
Taken from Roni Loren’s website this has to be the wittiest comic panel I’ve seen in awhile. Roni is redesigning her site and like so many authors is not a web designer. I am not either. I work in media, but I am a project manager. I hire people to design content for me. This…

Sweet, Sweet Crazy
I don’t hop on the bandwagon too often, but this was just too much fun not to share. I’ve seen it a couple places, but Pat at Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist convinced me to click and read the comments. It’s best if you read the review (which I think is incredibly fair), but then you have…
