Some have volumes of extra stuff; others have very little. But all of them make it easy to find information about the author’s books, current and backlist. I visit the site in search of this information, and I don’t want to have to watch videos or slide shows to find the book info. Another thing I like about all these is that they all fit the author. They don’t make me feel as if I’ve wandered into the wrong “house.”<br /> <br />http://www.eloisajames.com/<br />http://www.juliaquinn.com/<br />http://www.jobev.com/<br />http://www.lisakleypas.com/<br />http://tessadare.com/<br />http://www.annegracie.com/<br />http://www.marybalogh.com/<br />http://www.julieannelong.com/<br />http://www.juliejamesbooks.com/Site/Julie_James_-_Author.html<br />http://www.christinadodd.com/<br />http://www.deannaraybourn.com/<br />http://www.candicehern.com/Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-16629042621919593912010-07-28T16:26:09.187-04:002010-07-28T16:26:09.187-04:00Good idea, Aunty!

Too much window dressing screaming for my attention confuses me. And remember that anyone can view the contents of your blog and if you post a pic, make sure it's a good one. (I've seen a few photos that were kind of "boudoir" - I'm cringing.) My CP is blogging on another site today about building your own blog. I'm thinking about putting up a blog, but I'm still too chicken. <br />Here's my CP's site. It suits her to a T. www.smartassromance.com <br /><br />The deck guys are here sanding the back deck.

However, I really like Claudia Dain's website: <a href="http://www.claudiadain.com" rel="nofollow">www.ClaudiaDain.com</a>. Like Claudia, it is colorful, fun, classy and uncluttered. I tried for that with my poor website, but I've been letting it die of neglect. Logging into WordPress and updating the home page is far too much work for my stressed-out brain! <br /><br />That's another thing: websites need fresh content (unlike mine). For authors with books coming out, book signings and appearances, updates are an expectation. I'm just glad almost no one peeps at mine.
