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.

I would put in excerpts from your stories in the anthologies - you could also put snippets from reviews in there. If you want to find links to all the reviews, you can check out the anthology pages on my website (http://josephinemyles.com/) (well, okay, I haven't yet put up those two from yesterday)

Deleting the home page when first setting up Wordpress is surprisingly easy. I've managed to do it... twice :/

I have a WIP page on my site. Not sure if it gets looked at very often, but it's there. A contact page is useful too. And one to put random links on to all those places you love - I need to create one of those myself. It's on my to do list...

Sorry for delay in replying. I've only just picked this one up.

From what I can make out most people feel like that bout their websites, but it seems that they are a 'must have' so it's good to make them as much fun as possible. I've been adding links to my favourite sites to a 'blogroll' on my front page plus the blogs of people I think won't mind. May I add yours to it? I enjoy reading your adventures in writing/publishing.

Hehe, I don't think you even need to ask if anyone minds having their site linked - the more inbound links, the better your Google ranking and the more chance of finding new readers :D

I'm not going to be working on my links page properly for another week or two (busy with trying to finish a novella), but I'll add a link to your site too :)
