@bethanysinkyroses, I think that will work nicely. I will right up a quick summary for @theliterarycrusader to use to create a graphic (don’t worry, I will also put it in the official channel of “getting stuff made”).

Goal of the Handout:
A physical reminder of an amazing conversation with a fellow writer that communicates the core qualities of…[Read more]

@Aratrea The advantage of a follow button is that you’ll get followers that way who aren’t otherwise committed enough to actually sign up to a newsletter. Depending settings, they will automatically get an email when you post something and your post will show up in their reader feed. I know there are a number of blogs I follow because it just…[Read more]

@Aratrea I really like it! Everyone else has touched on things I would mention – mainly that it is very much a ‘story first’ blog rather an an ‘author first’ blog. Which is great, if you plan on just posting about your stories. If you plan on posting articles or stuff about yourself, you might want to change that aspect of it, even if it is just…[Read more]

@Aratrea I just bet you did. 😀

*blinks at the silence*
Are the songs really that bad?
😛
Thought I might throw out there that I need any replies or comments you do have by the 9th.

@Aratrea I concure mostly with what the others said (though I’ll admit I skimmed over a lot of the techincal detail stuff. I know next to nothing of web design. :P). Mostly what I thought when I first went there though was the focus on the story right away, instead of you and the blog. Someone else mentioned it too; it just struck me a little odd…[Read more]

@aratrea Okiday, my mom cleared me. You can expect a video from me soon. 🙂

@aratrea – I am referring to the link to your ‘Contact’ page. I am on a MacBook Pro and the ‘Contact’ button was underneath all of the other buttons. It very well could be that my screen is smaller than yours! 😀 I understand how everything rearranges depending on what screen size you’re using 😉

@aratrea Okay, thanks!

He changes to #3 and #1. He is now motivated by seeking revenge and protecting those he cares about. Revenge (#3): He feels he will only be truly satisfied if he cleanses the land of the peasants. Protection (#1): He is afraid of the peasants, and believes they will hurt other people he loves if he doesn’t wipe them out.…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya @daeus @that_writer_girl_99 @kate-flournoy @mariposa @brandon-miller @aratrea
Thanks for the encouragement guys. I am feeling alot better about it now. And I will definitely try most, if not all of your suggestions. Thank you so much!
@bethanysinkyroses *commiserates with you* Yeah. It’s tough. 😀 We got this, though!

@Aratrea I’ll definitely tell her that. 😛 (her website is alicemaywebdesign.com.au if you wanted to check it out) I’m glad we could help out! 😀
The text does look better and easier to read now, yes.

You did a great job. 🙂

@dragon-snapper I think it’s funny you tagged me in this, because I can sympathize with you on so many levels. I sympathize with you so deeply, in fact, that all I can really do is sit down next to you, pull up my own WIPs, and cry, cry, cry because I understand how you feel.

I agree with what @aratrea said. Maybe you just need to take a break…[Read more]

@Aratrea what @Daeus mentioned about the lines of text on the home page being closer together (unless I’m misinterpreting) is called ‘line height’ if that helps in your searching.
Some points that I and my web designer sister picked out: (admittedly a great deal of…[Read more]
