Colling Badger of Mannix Marketing in Glens Falls, N.Y., walking me through his ideas for a revamping of the website. We’re going to drop the Photo Gallery, and the Friends of the Farm page, put the site on Facebook, move Photos By Jon Katz onto the main site, build a kid’s page.
I’m changing the welcome page and photo, and adding more photographs, simplifying the site, making some graphic changes. This time, they bought coffee for me – I love Dunkin Donuts coffee. Keeping the Hospice Journal, and the Books section – one place to check out all of my books, including the new children’s books. Keeping the book tour tag (now up for Soul of A Dog) and events.
Mannix built this site, and it has worked beautifully for me, evolved beyond my imagination and expectations. Writers and artists are creatively challenged not only to create good works but to get their stories and messages out in a world teeming with new kinds of information systems.
The blog has helped do that for me. These other changes may help as well.
Change is as good as rest (Churchill). I think the kids section will go up on September or October, when I get done with the book tour. Collin has all kinds of ideas for making it graphically simpel and colorful. I’m also linking Maria’s quilting site – yesnoquilts.com – to mine.
Exciting times, and challenging times.
