About

So I think I’m finally figuring out this WordPress thing. It’s really easy to get a blog on your Website, but it’s hard to get it looking the way you want it. Wait. Correction. It’s hard to MAKE a blog your Website. Because that’s really what I’m doing. Replacing my Website and my blog and putting them together in one easy place. It seems to be coming along OK …

      Oh yeah, I’ll still be on LiveJournal to read my friends list. And everything I post here will get pushed there. I am just trying to consolidate my “web presence” as the kids say these days. I was getting tired of having to log onto so many sites every day.

    I don’t know about this, but whatever rocks your boat.

    It looks very nice though.

      Well, thank you. I like it. I’m not ready to go “live” yet, because I’m having problems getting my journal post titles to show. But once that’s fixed, I’m good to go.

      And now I’m going back to bed. Because 6:25 a.m. is too early to get up for realz.

    The art you’ve got for this is lovely!

      Thank you! And now that I’ve figured out WordPress, it should be a million times easier to build more sites … like yours, for instance! :-)

    Very nice. (Me, I still use hand-carved HTML for the maintenance of my wife’s site.) Will we be able to use icons when you’re fully up and running?

    • http://www.demimonde.com M.K. Hobson

      Thank you! I did the hand-carved HTML for so long, but then I ran up against a brick wall when it came to coding things like contact forms, etc.
      I’m not sure why icons aren’t showing up. Mine shows up because I’ve got a WordPress account. I think people have to sign up with something called “Gravatar” to have their avatars show up?? It’s a mystery.

    Well, icons aren’t a big deal. By the way, where do you get all those old B&W illustrations?

    One last thing… I can’t believe we have to wait until next summer before your first novel comes out. Bah humbug!

    Next summer will be here before we know it! :-)

    And I got the clip art from various Dover Clip Art books. Doug Lain tells me there’s a bunch of free Victorian era clip-art available from the Library of Congress Website, but I’ve never been able to find it.

      I’m hoping that I can get my editor’s approval to post some excerpts very soon …
