The Wildly Eclectic Me

It's only temporary. :-D

http://www.lesleyspeller.com No, you don't have to hold your applause. Come on let's have it. My sweetie pie redesigned my site for me, and it is now I have to say the most beautiful website in the history of time. You'll notice it features the absolutely beautiful cross he designed for me to. :-D There is even a new free short story called Fire and Water in the Freebies section. Squeeee! I love it! Thanks, baby!!!!

And now for another installment of How the Heck did Typing This into Google Get You to my Blog corseted tightly or inescapable "instructed to wear" Ummmmmmmm........ooooookkaaayyy...... While some of my writing does get a bit on the frisky side, I don't think I've ever written about anything quite like this before. Well...I mean not on the blog at least! ;)

Okay, I'm all moved into my new blog. I even changed my link on my website. Not that I think many people actually come in via my website , but hey, who knows. So why did I move my blog? Because I'm lazy mostly. I could have gone in and edited the template every time I wanted to move stuff around and then republish, but dang it I got sick and tired of doing that! Especially every time I wanted to update my WIP progress. Not that I've done that except for like once in the last oh year or so... I hope you guys find me... Actually I dunno how many people even read this, but it's a good place for me to babble and on aimlessly! :D Speaking of babbling on aimlessly...Don't forget my new fictional blog . Yes, that was a shameless plug! Shameless I say! Oh dang! I still need to make my twitter thing work on this blog... Off to work on that!

I've still got some tweaking to do, but I've got most of the stuff added to my website that I've been putting off for ages. Bryon fixed my buttons for me to make editing things easier. Thanks, sweetie! So what did I add? I added the first chapters of Click Yes to Submit and Blood and Violet. I also uploaded The Shadow in the Glass to the Free Reads section. Wow, written out it doesn't sound like all that much but it took me forever!

Technorati Profile

I've added the first chapter and a blurb of Fiona O'Sithein to the homepage. I think the blurb sounds good, but to be honest I've only slept a VERY little bit in the last few days so I reserve the right to change my mind about it at the drop of a hat. :D Ugh...I just realized that I forgot to remove it from the Works in Progress page. Off to do more webpagery .

Testing... Woot! I love it!

In the interest of making a prettier blog... I've made myself a header image. :-D

Okay, you give a program all your web browser love, and it totally screws you over! What's that all about??? The page that was driving me crazy only does it in Firefox. In Internet Explorer it's perfectly fine, but I don't like Internet Explorer! My MS Certified hubby is trying to convince me that it's not all bad, but I'm hard pressed to convert. Anyway, maybe I'll put a disclaimer on the top of the page until I can figure out why Firefox has turned on me. It's only that page! And there is nothing in the source code that should make these crazy characters appear! *Grumbles in frustration*

Okay, I have been fighting this stupid thing all day! I don't understand it! I added a short story to the free reads section of my page and it looks perfectly normal in Adobe GoLive. It looks perfectly normal when I open up the html in notepad. However, for some unknown and irritating reason, when I open it in a web browser there are strange characters added on to the sentences! I will conquer!!!

Yay! I have my new website up! Complete with chapters of the first two books in my Women of Sithein series. It's just beautiful if I do say so myself! Although I do owe most of the credit to my darling husband Bryon ! Well I'm off to add one last little tweak to the main page before I consider LesleySpeller.com 2.0 officially open for business!

I managed to mess up my blog, and this is the only way I know to fix it. :-D

On the advice of someone more knowledgeable than I , I'm going to be redoing my webpage. She suggested putting in sample chapters for all the books you've got out there submitting. While I'd considered this in the past I wasn't sure if it would be frowned upon by editors and agents alike so I didn't. They'll be up as soon as I can get the chance to wrangle my hubby into helping me. I'm also going to be adding a gallery with my favorite 3d stuff. On a more personal note, I've been up since 3:45 AM!!! My darling boy decided it was time for me to get the heck out of bed and take him to the living room to play. So my husband should just remember those blissful hours of sleep that I allowed him when I go asking for help with my page. :-D

I took one of my favorite images and put it on an assortment of products at CafePress. For the Not-So-Well-Behaved Woman is now open!!! Enjoy

I hope it works!!!
