Opening Night . . . We’re Live!

January 7, 2018 By JPMcLean 22 Comments

Red stage curtain

Can you see my sweaty palms, jangling nerves, and impatient pacing while I wait for the curtain to rise? It’s opening night here at the website, and we’re live.

Welcome!

The new website is live, and if the switchover went well, all you’ll notice is the new look. My thanks and gratitude go to Crystal Stranaghan and her team at Crystalclearsolutions. She’s the magician behind all the backstage manoeuvring to get the old site moved and the new one running smoothly.

I figured it was about time I learned how to manage the site myself. Up until now, a wonderful woman here on Denman Island has looked after it for me. But my website and my blog were not connected, which isn’t good for site rankings. I also didn’t have the ability to post videos, I had no access to nifty plug-ins, and I wanted to get rid of the ads that came with the free blog. I’ll have much more flexibility going forward.

Except for the first few days I spent banging my head against the wall, once I learned the ins and outs of designing a website, I really enjoyed the process and had fun checking out all the new bells and whistles that are available to me now.

But Nothing’s Perfect

But nothing’s perfect and I’m still plenty green at this, so please check out all the new pages, and if you notice something that isn’t working or something I can do better, please let me know. Use the contact form or reach me through social media. As always, you are welcome to share my posts and I encourage you to leave comments.

One thing that hasn’t changed is that you can still get instant access to Secret Sky from your favourite retailer right here! Or click on the image for more purchase options.
