Resources:
While there are many lists of resources for writers,
this list is specifically for writers' websites.
www.authorsden.com - a
reasonable group author site. If
you don't have a site of any kind yet, go here first to post your
information. Do buy your domain and direct it to your page.
www.webstyleguide.com
- comprehensive guide from Yale University. The rules are different when
you write for the web.
www.google.com/webmasters
- guidelines for search engine optimization.
www.websitesthatsuck.com
- amusing and thorough analysis of bad websites. (Make sure that your
website isn't one of the "daily suckers!")
http://freesitetemplates.com;
www.templates-to-go.info;
www.exactseek.com/templates/index.html
- There are many places to get ideas for your website design, but sites
that display templates are a good place to start. If you use a
template to give yourself a consistent structure, you could save some work - some are free and some are
not.
www.godaddy.com -
inexpensive and reliable for hosting and registering domain names.
Even if you're posted on a "free" site or a group site, you
can buy a domain like www.yourname .com and forward it to that site for $8.95/year.
http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Literature/Authors/
- The open directory project.
Your website needs to be listed here or on another appropriate
listing. You can only choose one place.
