I’ve been discussing the new site with the husband. Aha, you say. New site? What new site? Well, more a new look and better overall organization. The books all need their own individual pages, I want to give more space to the book covers on the blog page. All book information needs to be easier to find because my own cousin who reads my blog and visits my site every day does not know which of my titles are currently in print. That’s bad. In general I want a cleaner, brighter, better organized look.

And new colors. I like the pacific northwest theme I have, but I’ve come to realize that while a photograph from the Olympic Peninsula in the header is pretty and serene, it really doesn’t say anything about me or my books. Except maybe, “I’m growing moss in the rain forest.” And after what Jennifer Crusie has to say about moss, I’m having serious second thoughts about green as a color scheme for an erotic romance author. I’m thinking pink.

One of the big things under discussion is the limitations of the framework the main site is running on. WordPress is actually powerful and flexible enough to put the whole site on, not just the blog page. That’s a possibility. Right now it’s just a beast to update, so minor corrections that need to be made get put off because it’s too difficult to go in and change them. I want to make that easier.

So. New site in the works behind the scenes. Brighter, cleaner, better organized, easier to update. And not mossy.
