What I did on my day off

[rolanni]

As threatened, I worked with my spiffy new layout program, which was remarkably soothing.  I’ve also made a start on a Carousel Tides website.  It’s not by any means done yet; I want to add a cast of characters, and some sample chapters and a post about why I wrote this book — to, yanno, defuse those folks who will ask Why On Earth I wasted my time writing urban fantasy.

If you have a couple moments, do you mind going over and taking a look at the place?  Let me know what you think, and what you might find useful in such a site.

Thanks — and I hope everyone had as relaxing a day as I did.

I'm not getting the jaggies on my screen -- which I'm willing to believe is a deficiency on my end, not having a screen tuned for art, and old eyes, besides. My original idea had been to use the cover font -- but I couldn't reproduce it.

And, yeah, the red. It needs to not be all grey, but I'm not sure red is the answer...

. . .or tell stories about the story

As it happens, I have several stories about this story. . .

The deeper red is much less eyestrain-y and the added content is great. Maybe sometime you can get someone to turn the cover into a good banner/header... (-edited because this sounded like false humility on re-read, I apologize.-)

Well, it sounds like it's probably my computer or some setting that I have going on. :) It does it on Firefox, IE, and Opera for me (widescreen laptop w/ Vista). As a side note, the site looks almost identical in Firefox and Opera, but the font size for "Carousel Tides" at the top is quite different between FF and IE (and nothing else, as far as I notice), which is interesting. o_0 IE, go figure.
