Authors discussing web design

March 19, 2006 Stephanie Leary 4 Comments

Good discussion of what should go on an author’s site over at LiveJournal. Of course, yours truly had to weigh in, but other people had interesting things to say too.

My original comment exceeded LJ’s character limit. I’ll take that as the universe’s subtle hint that I should start posting here more often again, now that I’m not working 12-hour days.

    Obviously pink hearts that dance and sing background music should be on every author’s website.

    Oh, dear. Don’t ask me that. I loathe FrontPage and I’m an advocate of using web standards in design, which means using CSS for layout instead of tables.
