I've been trying to make a web site

Just finished my new novel, Esther, Star of the Sea and was feeling at loose ends so thought I'd try to move myself even further into cyberspace.

And it ain't as easy as it looks. Using Nvu, the freeware from Mozilla, which is very user-friendly, but I still can't seem to get the banner or buttons right for linking -- maybe because I'm working off line. Anyhow, I thought I'd update my blog in the mean time.

If you're looking for inspiration you won't get it from me, but here are some things you should read:
