I've made a website!

Tiny Nell

Here it is if you'd like a peek:

I'm feeling very proud of myself, simple as it is!

Baggy Books

I am very, very impressed!

Baggy Books

I thought it was my eyes, but that bat is flying!

Tiny Nell

Oooh, thank you, Baggy! I was just bemused to receive an email via the contact page:

Name : Herbert ferbet
Email : [email protected]
Subject : Website
Message : You website is lurvly

I shouted it through to Hubby.

He shouted back it was him!

Yes, the bat flies, the seagull swoops and the cat spins.

Baggy Books

I can't click on the last two pages unless I've moved on to BOOKS.

Tiny Nell

Oh. I wonder why.

Tiny Nell

I can click anywhere in any order.

Baggy Books

I can't.

Baggy Books

If I'm on the Home page I can't click on Contact. I have to move from page to page.

Tiny Nell

Oh, I can't now either.

Baggy Books

I broke it.

Tiny Nell

Yes, you have.

I've changed something called 'Page transitions' from 'Horizontal' to 'None'. No idea what it means, but maybe it will fix it.

Baggy Books

Hasn't.

Tiny Nell

No.

I'll have to ask on FB...

Tiny Nell

I've tried 'Page transitions out-in'. Still no idea what it means...

Tiny Nell

Oh, that makes them fade away and come back again.

Tiny Nell

.

Baggy Books

It works!

Tiny Nell

Fixed!

I had covered the buttons with the image box underneath.

Tiny Nell

Now I need to tell people about it.

Baggy Books

I feel a tweet-fest coming on!

Tiny Nell

Like a swan, I'm in danger of being muted.

Baggy Books

Are you able to have your own domain name?

Tiny Nell

I think I can if I pay. No idea how much! My husband has a spare one (if that's what you call it) but Wix says I have to pay to connect to it.

Baggy Books

It might be worth it. You could get a domain for a fiver a year. It would tidy up the address.

Tiny Nell

I like tidy.

Baggy Books

You should be Tidy Nell.

Baggy Books

I have the domain names for my blogs - www.read-reviewed.com and www.createspaceandme.co.uk

They go to blogs, but the addresses look nicer on my marketing material.

Tiny Nell

Yes, I've just checked and I have to upgrade before I can use my own domain name. I can't do any more for now. Pooped.

'Tidy Nell'... yep, it has a ring to it.

Baggy Books

You've done enough for now!

Lizy

It looks fantastic, TN - well done!

Tiny Nell

Thanks, Lizy.

The quote on the first page occasionally turns to gobbledygook, so I'll have to have another look at that.

Carol

Just looked, that's good.

Tristram_Shandy

Great website, TN

Dwight

Wow, how impressive, Tidy Nell. You'll have to keep us informed as to rising book sales.

Did you use Dreamweaver?

Tiny Nell

No idea what Dreamweaver is, Dwight!

This was a website provided by Wix. It was very easy to use once I'd binned my first idea!

Mrs Bear

Well done, TN! Looks just right for the age group or your readers. Not sure what's not showing, but at the bottom, after The Beginning, it says:
'We're sorry, this content cannot be displayed. Please try again later.'

Liz

That's how to do it - see what there is and entwine an idea around it, it works really well.

Lou Treleaven

Looks good! Viewed on my phone the home page was a bit unaligned but rest looked good and books look fab! You should be able to preview the mobile site so you can see what I mean.

Tiny Nell

Ah, that'll be the visitor counter, Mrs Bear. No idea why you can't see it, but it is very new.

I wonder how I can fix the home page for phones. Hmmm...

Phots Moll

Excellent - especially the bird, bat and cat.

Lizy

Silly question I am almost afraid to ask.

'Ms Laycock is a master storyteller THAT takes you ... '
Shouldn't it be 'WHO takes you ... ?

Baggy Books

Maybe TN can ask the person if they'd mind their quote being changed?

Emma B

I love the cat :-) Fantastic TN

aeschylus

Appealing!

Why does it say copyright 2023 at the bottom? Have I missed the last 8 years?

stuartlennon

Nice site - well done Tiny

Balazs

nice one!

casey

Had a look - loved it. Well done TN

Tiny Nell

Lizy, do you think it looks that bad? Maybe I should ask for permission to change it. Hope she won't be offended!

aeschylus, yes, I saw that. I'll have to see if I can alter it. It's a bit futuristic!

Thanks for all the positive comments, everyone.

*jumps up and clicks heels*

Lizy

Lizy, do you think it looks that bad? Maybe I should ask for permission to change it. Hope she won't be offended!

Sweetheart - it's not bad exactly, it's just that I noticed it straight away, and I keep seeing it every time I look! I'm a bit OCD on such things, so you'd better take a vote! x
