More Website Updates

Monday, July 20th, 2009

It’s a lot of fun changing the way websites work. In my opinion, it’s more fun to spruce them up than it is to make them sometimes. You can really take a look at each aspect and ask yourself, “What would make this better?” A question that is almost always fun to answer.

The first update I’m going to talk about is the BRAND NEW books page. I’ve put two of my three projects on there (with samples of both). The assassin book will show up there soon, but I can’t for the life of me think of a neat cover for it. We’re (my wife and I) are thinking we can make a temporary image that would work for any new project. But then we have to make that, so either way, it’s still not ready. I like it though, and I’m glad visitors will a chance to read what I write. Samantha made the cover for The Forest Awakens. My good friend Rob, of Evolinium, made the Draknor cover. I think both are awesome.

Another fun thing we added was the progress bars to match my current projects. This is fun because of the geek in me. I first saw it on Brandon Sanderson’s website. I thought the idea was fantastic. So set it all up in PHP so I could change the numbers in one place and everything would update itself.  It’s very fun. Samantha made the three bars.

I’ll have more new updates to share soon, but they are still not quite finished. I plan on updating pages all over the place, and adding fun ways to find them. Including a random option.
