Short stuff

April 22, 2007 Stephanie Leary Leave a Comment

Somebody smack me the next time I say, “I don’t write short stories.” I’ve been cleaning out some files today, and I have four completed drafts, four in progress, and over a dozen half-baked ideas.

Clearly I do write short stories. I just don’t finish them, or do anything with them when they’re done.

Must do something about that.

Of the finished drafts, three are flash pieces that probably aren’t very marketable (or even very good, really, although I’m still fond of one), and one isn’t even typed yet. I could at least transcribe it, and maybe work on revisions once the novel’s done.

WordPress for Web Developers (9781430258667)

This is a book for professional web designers and developers who already know HTML and CSS, and want to learn to build sites with WordPress. The book begins with a detailed tour of the administration screens and settings, then digs into server-side topics like performance and security. The second half of the book is devoted to development: learning to build WordPress themes and plugins.

This is the second, much-revised and updated edition of Beginning WordPress 3, with a more accurate title. Everything’s been updated for WordPress 3.6.
