It feels a little like opening night here at the website. Sweaty palms, jangling nerves, and impatient pacing while waiting for the curtain to rise.
And now it’s here!
The new website is live, and if the switchover went well, all you’ll notice is the new look. All of the backstage manoeuvring to get the old site moved and running smoothly is thanks to Crystal Stranaghan and her team at Crystalclearsolutions.
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 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, my posts are yours to share and comments are encouraged and welcome.
One thing that hasn’t changed is that you can still find instant access to the Kindle version of Book 1 with one click right here. And if ebooks aren’t your preference, you can click on the bookstore tab for other purchase options, or just click on the covers below.
