Come on over and check out my newly-refurbished website! The fabulous Robin Cornett did a great job giving this old place a much-needed facelift (and added some pretty cool things on the backend, too). Thanks, Robin!
site redesign
July 29, 2009 4 Comments
If you haven’t been to this site recently, come on over and check out my new design. It’s definitely a cleaner and whiter look. I wanted something less somber and with a place for a picture header (because flower pictures have a lot to do with writing, as everyone knows!). I’m still tinkering around with the content. I need to update my works page, put in the email subscription form again (that’s a job for my tech guy, but he’s been busy with schoolwork, alas), and figure out (yet again) the direction of my blogging. That’s where you all can help me out!
What do you think of the content recently? Too many posts about writing, not enough about writing? Too much stuff about kids, not enough stuff about kids? Do you like the story inspiration exercises and the flash fiction I’ve been putting up? What about the art-related posts and the gratuitous pictures? Really, it boils down to, what would you like to see more of?
To those of you who come by and comment, thanks so much. I appreciate it a lot.

Sorry for the gi-normous pictures that you’ve been suffering through! I think I’ve fixed the problem. Here, have a puppy–see post below!
new design
July 19, 2008 6 Comments
I found a template that I like much better than my old one; hence the new look of my fledgling website. The color scheme is pretty similar to the one of the old design, but I find this look more readable. The font is a little bigger, the text area is not crowded out by the sidebar design, and (yay!) all the posts are dated. I also like the two-column right sidebar; it makes things look cleaner, more organized. All in all, a change I am pleased with… for now. The longer I work with this website, the pickier I’ll get about what design and layout features I want. Good thing I’m not paying any money for website design as yet because I’m such a novice at this!
What do you think of the template change? Yay or nay? What features do you like to see (or not like to see) on a blog or website?
I’ll continue with my musings about how my writing passion survived this past year in subsequent posts about writing prompts, one of which worked really well for me. It might take me a few days because I am trying to go into labor right now *grin*. If I succeed, I’m not going to be online for a couple days. In the meantime, feel free to have a party in the comments section.

Welcome to my home on the Web. I’m still in the process of moving in, so don’t be offended by the lack of chairs, the bare walls and my empty pantry. Once I have everything unpacked and put away, I’ll invite you in for a chat and a cuppa. Till then. *wave*
