Time for a Break

I've been really excited about my book.  Like super excited about getting it published and out there.  What an accomplishment to have written a book.  Sadly though for the last few days I've had serious information overload and total frustration over building a website for said book.

I don't want my website to suck. I have an idea of what I want the site to ultimately look, but I seem to spend countless hours getting frustrated over the smallest of details when trying to build it and I'm still not happy with it.

SO I've been reading all this stuff about websites and making them look the best and all it's done is make me more confused and frustrated.  I don't know where to host it or what to do with it at this point.

Who has the best hosting deal?  Who has the best and easiest website builder?  What am I to do?

I guess it's time for me to stop trying to force it and to take a break from it. The ideas will come. Setting it up will be a breeze in time. I will leave it where it is right now.

...and we are LIVE!

Today was a big day over here in the curly girl universe.  We bought some real estate....web real estate that is. 

There is is below!  My new fancy smansy shiny website for my book! WOO WOO!  Go ahead and click it!

Let's Juice It! 

I set up a website and a squeeze page for my book that I'm launching in January.  Took me nearly half of the day too and I'm still not sure that I like it.

First I was going to use WordPress, but I really do not like WordPress and I really wanted to have a dedicated site for the book.  I bought the url and away I went into Happy HTML programming..  (not!)  I don't know what it is about these web builder programs but they are not friendly, at least not me anyway.  I think it's because they expect us to get frustrated so we will go out and hire someone to do it for us.  *sighs*

Anyway...I guess I'm learning as I go.  The site is live and over the next few weeks I will be fighting, um, tweaking it as I go along.

I'm going to go rest my brain now.

'tis the mantra of the day!
