My Author Website is Here

Come celebrate with me! I am delighted with the beautiful work of Webcrafters Design.

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you will notice a dramatic difference in its design as of today.

That's because Webcrafters customized my blog to match my new website.

You can click on the above link or go to the yellow link above my picture that says "Back to My Website" to see the full design.

Please leave a comment with your opinion! How would you like your own website to look, if you could have any design you wanted? Would it be moody? Fun? Urban? Pastoral?

In honor of the launch, I will give away a $25 Amazon gift card by email to one of the commenters on this post as of September 21st. Your support means a lot to me.

Congratulations, Rosslyn. Both your website and blog look great. Good things are happening for you, the payoff for years of hard work. Good job.

Congratulations on the book's upcoming debut! That has to be exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. The site is lovely. I usually can't stand a dark background for text, but yours is very easy to read. I love how simply laid out the site is. It's very easy to navigate--another huge plus for both the blog and your website. Sites that are too busy don't keep me coming back very often. It seems to match what you write. Very well done!

Very nice website Rosslyn! Webcrafters did an excellent job. It is very logically laid out and very easy to understand where you are and where you want to go. Aside from that I also like the "feeling" it conveys in relation to your type of writing. It fits you like a glove.

I like it, especially the dark background with light text, easy to read with my bad eyes. Congrats on your book coming next spring!

Rosslyn,

Your website, blog and photo are gorgeous. The candle is a wonderful touch and so 'you'.

I can't begin to contemplate an author website...I have completely lost the ability to say "what if" at this point.

God bless you as your 'big day' nears! So exciting!

Dark and moody with just the right touch of light to pull attention upward to the figure at the top. The pictures are a good combination of history and mystery, with a touch of romance...although the word elusive keeps coming to mind when I look at the one with the figures in it. The whole site is reminiscent of Rembrandt with a similar touch of colors and a strong use chiaroscuro. Love the script, especially with your name at the top. Definitely brings to mind ink and feather quill. Fantastic job!!!!

Lovely, Rosslyn! I've been itching to stop over and see how you're doing. I would like to feature you sometime soon on Peace Garden Writer. Would you be willing? Let me know through Facebook or a blog comment and I'll send you some questions. I'd be honored for you to be a guest on my blog. :)

I like the new look!

Oh, it's beautiful! I love the candles! It really is worth it to get a professional design.

I love my blog design right now even though it's just stock Blogger stuff, because it matched my "Writing at High Altitude" title so well, and I like simple and clean. I don't know what I'd pick if I got a professional design. I *might* add a tiny, almost invisible unicorn somewhere in my mountains, that only the discerning reader would be able to find. Oh, and a cross or some other symbol of my faith :)
