You’re welcome, Kate! 🙂
It’s easy to spot good and bad author websites… when it’s not your own. I did a complete overhaul of my (very do-it-yourself-quickly-looking) Blogger blog, moving it to self-hosted WordPress site and doing the site design myself (I got a friend designer to create some graphics). When I finally went live I felt so proud of my new shiny web-home, but when I looked at it again a few days later as a reader, it felt… wrong. Now I need to figure out how to change what so I can go from “wrong” to “right” and hopefully get to “ideal” someday. Posts like this is a great help, thank you!
Thank you, Nevaeh! I’m glad it helped. 🙂
