So, what else can you do when you have a looming deadline and your story is stuck in the mud? Play with your blog template! As you can see, I’ve fiddled around with the design here and now have a great new template (with a really lame name – Internet Market WordPress Theme?!) I added a few navigation tweaks at the top to let users get back to my website. Swapping around templates is really easy in WordPress and that’s one thing I’m really liking about this blogging software. I like the template for now, but we’ll see how long it lasts – that name really irks me.
(Update: I’ve reverted back to my old template after seeing the damage my “tweaks” did to the layout when viewed through Internet Explorer – ouch. I’ve had enough css messin’ for one day, but will try and get it fixed later in the week.)
But on a more productive note, I’ve also added a new School Visits page to the site. With September fast approaching, I’m hoping to be out visiting schools more and showing kids how comics are made. I really enjoyed the school presentations I gave last year and this year I’ve actually got a booking agent who will do all the boring work of advertising my talk to schools.
You can check out my page at the Author’s Booking Service blog to learn all about my presentation. If you, or someone you know, would like me to visit your school and show your students how comics are made, email ABS at: authors.bookingservice@gmail.com and they’ll make it happen.
Now, what was I meant to be doing? Ah yes, writing! I remember now.
