Hi everyone! I am totally thrilled beyond belief to announced the unveiling of my new website design. Who designed it? I did. That’s why I’m totally thrilled “beyond belief.” I love web design, but it consumes me (translation: distracts me from writing).\u00a0 So to finally have the new design up and (hopefully) looking great is a humongous weight off my shoulders.<\/p>\n
I have to give a shout out to the amazing Vivian Lund of Electric Webs<\/a>. I tried my best to customize the default WordPress theme to match my new web design, but the results were less than spectacular. Okay, I’ll admit it, they were disastrous. Well, maybe not that bad. I had all the elements, but know zilch about PHP and CSS, so there were all these little niggy-noggy things in my theme that shouldn’t have been there. Vivian came to my rescue and fixed the blog lickety-split. If left to me, the blog design would have taken another two centuries. So thank you, Vivian.<\/p>\n Please check out my news digs–and not just the blog. In fact, if you like book give-aways, I would suggest very strongly that you take a look around at the other pages. Because, in celebration of my new website, I’m holding a contest to give one lucky reader a free, autographed trade paperback copy of BORROWING ALEX. Yup, I’m generous. Can’t help it. But not so generous that I won’t make you do some work to find out how to enter the contest.\u00a0<\/p>\n Contest ends Friday, April 18th, so get browsing.<\/p>\n Oh, and if you notice something absurdly wrong with my new\u00a0website (as in\u00a0something isn’t\u00a0working, not that you\u00a0hate it), please email me<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cindy<\/p>\n “Accolades Accepted, Insults Ignored.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi everyone!
