Trendy or Just Hard to See Print


While I'm getting set up for June's promotion of At the Edge, I'm looking at what works.

I question the use of small very small print on websites and perhaps the use of a diary type list on the index page. But then, what do I know, I am not a webmaster, simply a writer trying to save a little on my budget. Some webdesigners are definitely overpriced when small software packages get the message out there.

I'm using WebEngine from VirtualMechanics.com right now, and adding KoolMoves.com for a trailer/animations that I hope to build. I already have an animation program--old and needed updating with the fancy-today-stuff, and we're always needing new software. As a software addict, that's a problem when it eats so much of writing time.

The print on my new website's pages at http://caitlondon.com are easy to read and the animations aren't too bad, either.

Valentine's Day is Coming


I've just updated my website with new software. Well, I've gotten the basic pages down and will be adding as we go along, bringing in previous covers, le bistro, etc. I enjoy doing my own website and feel it gives more of a sense of me.

Since I get all excited over Valentine's Day, there's a special contest at my website, red shoulder bag and books included as a prize. The usual cups contest is one of my favorites with people describing their favorite cup. The responses to this one are really heartfelt and I enjoy reading them.

I don't know why Valentine's Day appeals to me so much. It ranks far above St. Patrick's Day, but then, I'm not Irish either.
