So, my official author website is pathetically out of date and I desperately need to fix it. I’ve decided to migrate to a WordPress site and so Haddayr is giving me a WordPress lesson this morning.
Of course, that meant I needed to set up a site and now I have a WordPress site and if you stumble across it it’s going to look sort of unfinished. Because it is. Back in the day, like, 1998, when I was first doing web pages, you’d put this SUPER SUPER DORKY “Under Construction!” image and I actually totally remember telling people, “Don’t do this! WE KNOW IT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.” In fact, web pages are inherently under construction at all times; that’s the point.
I promise this will be a respectable site soon. In the meantime, you can leave a comment saying hi so I know people are finding the blog, but if you point out that I ought to put in links to stories or books or anything you’re just being a snot.
hello!
I found this from your FB post.
Hiya. I strive not to be a snot.
hi!
You should include with this a date after which pointing out unfinished bits is socially acceptable; either that, or I suppose a follow-up “open for business” post, though the advantage of a date trigger is that it puts some small pressure on you to not just let it languish.
Also, cross-posting to Goggle+ FTW.
That’s an excellent idea. November 1st.
Wait, I take it back. November 6th. (I’m going to keep doing the political blogging on LJ for now.)
