Yesterday, after depositing another 800 words into The Hushing Days
literary bank, I turned my attentions to my new penname’s website and its new
gardening blog. (“Cora’s Garden” will hopefully be debuting this week at www.coradouglassands.com )
Despite my undeniable idiocy when it comes to website design, I went
into it with great enthusiasm and a never say die attitude.
I did.
Really.
After two hours of relatively small but significant progress (the home
page’s “under construction” sign is gone with reasonably intelligent writing
and stuff taking its place), I haughtily began adding pages to the site.
Each blog got its own page and I even set up a clever “The Garden
Players” page for the who’s who in this year’s garden-to-be. Yep, all was fine
and dandy and looking rather professional, I must say.
Then, I tried it out.
Stupid.
The “Cora’s Garden” page sends visitors to an old, old, old version of
the Cora Sands website sporting a camel and a desert… not good for a Florida
gardening blog written by an American Revolution-era historical romance author.
And it remains not good as a day later I still can’t figure out why or
how this time-travelling glitch is happening. I’m hoping it will fix itself,
because today is Super Bowl Sunday and I am NOT dealing with that kind of crap!
*deep breaths, deep breaths*
Oh, and that wry congratulations I promised would be in order? Well,
here it is…
After the third and fourth hours of camel-gate, I did NOT fling the
computer into the mulch pile and stomp on it like a bratty, tantrum-ing child.
Please insert wry congratulations here.
Thank you.
Until tomorrow…
Chloe
