Flushed with success - kinda

[elingregory]

For the past month I've been fighting with a website, or rather a combination of domain registration [easy], getting it hosted [easy] obtaining access codes [pretty damn hard] and finally actually uploading content.

I really shouldn't be allowed out alone. I can understand losing content but I managed to 'delete' the home page.

Anyhow - now I've got it back, with content, and a few links and want to know what else to put on there. Bits of free fiction? Pictures of cats? Pr0n? Should I do a poll? Cuz, honestly, I don't know what I'm doing.

Also I have spent far too long messing about with it. So I'm going to bed with a notebook and will doze off making marks on paper like I did last night.

This is about the fifth try to reply, due to LJ being a pig and eating all my comments!

Those are all excellent suggestions, some of which I can do now - home, bio, links - and some later. Not much point having a 'coming soon' page when I haven't got anything coming soon. Maybe a 'Fingers crossed' page? Also the only sort of reviews that don't store up a world of pain are unreservedly gushing so I think I might do a recommended reads one instead. :) thanks for the input. My head was spinning that night.

aw hun! :(

i dont think you have to be mega specific about things 'coming soon' if you dont want?
maybe just a vague whats happening... like 'hope to release novell soon/short stories'
?

and yes i did the same for reviews, pointed it towards goodreads XD
