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.

Looks really good. excellent having your blog on the main page, don't forget to keep it up to date.

I'd add a paragraph in your bio about Beeeeez so people know what the header on the site refers to, and link to an excerpt of it on the samples section.

Also worthwhile adding the review widget from goodreads for your books, so people can see what other people think without having to leave the site

and MORE importantly - standardise the content of your book pages, suggest putting the buy links at the top of the page like you have with British Flash.

Looks good though - well done!

I wanted the About page as Home but it just wouldn't do that and I got into a terrible muddle. I'm looking for samples of WIPs now and everything I look at looks manky. I need to do some MAJOR revisions!

I'll tweak the books page as you suggest. I just copied the text across. If I have more stories to add to the 'buy here' I'll make myself a template so they are all in the same style. That'll make it easier.

Many thanks for the advice :D
