… at about 8am this morning keyanadrake.com went live. It took me about four or five hours to configure, finish and upload all the site I have on my hardrive. It’s still not done, but I’m really happy with it.
It has crossed my mind today that all this work may turn out nothing much because I still don’t know exactly how I’m going to get people to the site to read the first three sections of Rise of Hawk. But, I didn’t know how I was going to get the website up in the first place and it happened, so I’m going to have faith that what I do not know will simply come to me or the paths I need to go down to learn will come to me.
I still can’t believe I can code basic html. Me… the mild technophobe. Well.. not exactly technophobe, but I do tend to get mighty uncomfortable with stuff I don’t already know how to do. But it was worth it and I’ve found that I enjoy htmling… well… I enjoy the finished product.
I’m going to finish the parts of the site I have plans for and can do myself. Then I’m going to back to W3schools and continue learning. If I have the patience to learn html mostly on my own, perhaps I can learn the “harder” stuff, and then, maybe then, with a little animated gif program and maybe a copy of dreamweaver, maybe *I’m* the one who can eventually make that awesome 3D scrolling map I’ve seen in my minds eye. But.. the star map is a while away. I’ll keep at it on my computer, but I don’t need to post it up until I’ve finished and lulu published Time Speaker and Rise of Hawk… and there’s a crap load to do before they’re done.
To do list:
* Get a twitter account
* Get better accustomed to using facebook
* Get a lulu account
* Look at the prices and profit of other digital and hard copy suppliers/sellers
* Research amazon’s selling legalities
* Get an adware account with google
* Finish keyanadrake.com to at least the points I know I can
* Install some kind of shop on the website
* Commission artists to do the covers of Rise of Hawk and Time Speaker
* Design and code the Kitchen Witch website
* When Kitchen Witch is away humming, go onto the weight loss one and so on.
**Get free of this governmental allowance**
No.. I don’t want the world! Just most of it
