What I'm reading: Winterkill, by C.J. Box
Don't forget: leave a comment on Tuesday's post for a chance to win a copy of NO MORE BULL.
First - the big news. SAVING SCOTT is now live at Barnes & Noble!
I'm on my way to Los Angeles for a family visit and to cheer my daughter on in the LA Marathon. I've been busy trying to migrate my website, although it's still very much a work in progress and following links will take you to my old site for some things, my new site for some others.
What's important to me in a web site?
First, it needs to be a place where people go for information, not entertainment. So, no animated graphics, no bouncing text, and no music. (I'll say that again. NO Music.) People browsing the web might be doing so late at night with others asleep, or they might be listening to their own music. If, for some reason, you do want music on a website, at least have it default to off and let the reader decide to turn it on.
Readability. For me, that means a dark text on a light background, and uncluttered pages. I simply can't read those white-on-black sites, and unless it's of vital importance that I do so, I simply navigate away.
Ease of navigation. If someone is looking for something, it should be clear where they have to look.
