A simple site with shabby appeal. Customize your colors and header.

Fun and useful plug-ins include:

  • Bible text pop-ups
  • footnotes
  • animated smilies

This is the first page of my blog for my novel, THE BUTTON GIRL. Because I wanted to make the reader feel like she was reading a book, I didn’t put in a sidebar and I wrote the text with indented paragraphs.

The first chapter of the YA novel, THE BUTTON GIRL

This site has several pages with random header images and a drop-down menu above instead of a sidebar.

Where I got the idea for the YA novel, THE BUTTON GIRL

This page shows the use of footnotes.

This author site has a splash page with animated and audio links on mouseover.

The background is also used on my Twitter page 

The blog that goes with the site has a slider in the header to highlight featured posts, scrolling recent comments, and an Amazon widget to show the books I want to draw attention to.

This is the front page of the Suffer the Children site, which is a password protected site. Click on the link to see the customizable password protect page.

I took the sidebar off this page so the forum would be larger. Colors of the forum can be customized.

Again, I took off the sidebar on this page so the calendar could cover the whole page. This calendar opens up events in a pop-up box. You can add as many types of events as you like and you can view them together or separately. Very cool.
