JennifersLost Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I have a new website up and I need to work out some glitches. Would a few of you take a look? Here's the link - www.ShadowArmies.com This WON'T work on Internet Explorer -or rather, it will come up all tweaked. My IT guy (my son) is working on that already. I'd love feedback on the feel and functionality of the site. Any typos, mistakes, broken links, etc. Can you figure out how to get to the beginning? Can you figure out how to email me? Thanks, everyone! Ds has been working sooooo hard to make this work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabeline Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I looked around a little and it looks interesting. Everything worked ok, I think. The only thiing is I could not get back to the story part after i sent you an e-mail. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Wow, I'm so excited to read this! Once you click on the buttons on the bottom there is no "home" button. I love "about the author", the only thing I might suggest is breaking that part into a few paragraphs. Love the picture, it almost appears to move.

JennifersLost Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Ack! Thanks guys. See, this is why I wanted to show it to people I "know", first, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennifersLost Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Okay, we fixed a bunch of stuff and it should work on Internet Explorer now! Would people check it again.....pretty please with ice cream on top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 It works fine for me....and I have IE...6.0 (older version, LOL). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesloonybin Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I checked it out. It was pretty good. I would move the "About the Author" to the top left. And maybe say something about how often there will be a new entry or something. I was a bit confused about what exactly the page was for. Are you going to do the whole book that way? Just some more info. So if someone just comes across your page they will still know what is going on. ETA: I have Internet Explorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree House Academy Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I have IE and it worked fine for me. I enjoyed the read too. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennifersLost Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Well....there's a long-term plan that explains why I'm "giving it away". 1. Because I haven't found a traditional publisher yet and this story is going stale for me. I need to be done with it and move onto the next thing. 2. This is the first book in a series, and I feel hog-tied and unable to continue it until the first book is "out". 3. I believe the publishing dynamic is changing. Yes, we will still have lots of traditionally published books, but people are going to get their reading material in many different ways, including downloads for the Kindle, etc., and audiobooks. Within two weeks I'll be posting "podcast" versions of each chapter and in a month or two I will post downloadable versions of the complete book and the complete audiobook...for a fee. 4. I also believe that as the market gets flooded with self-published authors taking advantage of the Kindle, etc, (Amazon is already making this happen), that there is going to be room for "niche online publishers" like me - people who only put out quality stuff. Customers are going to get used to being able to download stories/novels instantly, but they're going to get sick of all the dreck. Meanwhile, I'll be amassing quality fiction. I'll become a destination. 5. (and maybe most important) I'm a control freak. And right now I am controlling every aspect of my novel. It's a beautiful thing.

lionfamily1999 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 This looks really incredible. I'm with all the others, the picture is beautiful. I can't read it all just yet, but so far, so excellent! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennifersLost Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Thanks, all. I'll pass on the compliments to my artist. I was thrilled when he put together that picture for me. It was just what I...pictured...LOL! That was my first experience working with an artist and it was a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnointedHsMom Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I didn't have time to read it all but I sure will be back to read it what ever is up. I glanced over some of it and it looked really good. I LOVE the Twilight series. Twilight got me reading again after several years and 2 kids. Now I get up at 6 a.m. just so I can read some without the kids interrupting LOL. Way to go and I use Firefox by the way. Picture is very awesome and makes we want to read it all the more!
