The new site is live!

Wow!  Look, here I am on my new site!  I’m still figuring out how this works, so this is basically a test post.

Isn’t the diary page cool?  See the “Styles” feature at the left?  If you choose the different couples, the colors of the site change to match the respective book covers! How cool is that?  Courtesy of CrocoDesigns, folks.  Frauke, you’re amazing!

    Yes, I am being a geek and commenting on my own non-post, just to test it.

    Here, let’s test smileys!
    :mrgreen: 😈 😯 😎 ❗

    Oooh, can I test drive?

    For instance, can I use a block quote? Really? ❓

    💡 😳 😮

    Oh, I like the way comments show up. Let me see if blockquotes alternate background the way regular stuff does.

    See?

    Well, I guess it leaves a blank box if you’re clueless.

    Very, very nice. I love how the colours change on each page, at the side.

    @Courtney Milan: If Tessa likes to, I can certainly give you alternating blockquote colors, too.

    It should be possible. No one ever asked me yet, but we could give it a try if the boss (read: Tessa) is up to it.

    By the way, you all see the little arrow, it should remind you of Twitter’s arrow for replying to a message.

    Love the emoticons. They’re my fave!

    Can’t wait to try all the other bells and whistles.

    @Lindsey:
    Let’s try this “reply” feature.

    Well, Lindsey… When I get my cover art for a certain book, we’ll see. 🙄

    Thanks to all of you for dropping by! :mrgreen:

    Wow! My agent recommended Frauke, so if and when I ever dip my toes into the Real Writing World, I know where to go. So very pretty, Tessa. (like you!)

    I LOVE it! I especially love to click on the “theme” buttons (am easily dazzled). Frauke did an excellent job! :mrgreen:
