As you might have noticed, I recently redesigned my site. I use WordPress, so applying a new template is easy if you know the basics. I added a few additional tricks:
- cool new header image
- the ability to subscribe to my blog posts via Feedburner, either as an RSS feed or through email
- better links to my Facebook and Twitter account
I tend to struggle with WordPress a bit. One of the things I learned while redesigning the site was that many of the problems I thought were WordPress problems are actually issues with my ISP. So I will be changing ISPs sometime soon.
I learned this from managing another WordPress site for a friend, and using another ISP. With that provider I do not have the problems updating my pages that I have with my ISP. I breathed a deep sigh of relief to discover that “it’s not me – it’s them.”
So please let me know what you think of the new site. Like it? Hate it? Any features you’d like to see and don’t? I plan to keep working on the site and start posting more, now that I have a handle on my WordPress problems.
I think your redesign looks great. Nice job. I like the black background.
I like everything about this web site. It pops and is easy to navigate. I am so impressed. Anyone who knows what an ISP is, is a genius in my book!
Your twitter stories are fantastic. You say so much in so few words. Not an easy task at all. And I love “gentle dissatisfaction” with your career. Such an understatement, I’m sure.
If I ever get to this point, where I have a platform of work or ideas I want to share, I shall contact you for some guidance.
Thanks Suad and John. Appreciate the support and comments. – Janet
really cool Janet, I love it!
Your articles are a must read too, which is awesome.
Thanks Aron! I appreciate the support.
Way to go, woman! Looks awesome! And I have no doubt we’ll see lots more of the publication type notices in the future! I take it all as great encouragement that a writer as talented as you is finding recognition in the larger pool. Definitely gives me faith in the publishing world. So, after you get done selling your stuff, you can help them all redesign their own sites — you pro you
