if you want something done, you'd best do it your own damn self...

Lord knows, the web people at Penguin have their hands full. I'm sure of this, although I've never actually seen any benefit from what they're doing -- it's all bestsellers and Imprints with Clout. They're far too busy to make it easy to find a genre imprint. Or even update it on time.

So I've taken matters into my own hands. It's small, it's simple, but it works. I hope. And acknowledging that it's still in the building phases.

But I'm still proud of it.

Nice job! *waving hello* Like the background color with the dark blue text a lot, and that it works well at various screen resolutions.

A couple of minor suggestions: I personally would change the black text to blue, or go with all all black on non-link text. The combination looks a little confusing, as if I should be able to link on all the blue.

Put jump points on the Current Newsletter, perhaps listing the authors up front, so one can jump down the page to that author's blurb? For example, I'd click instantly on Anne Bishop's name, and am thrilled about the Black Jewel omnibus so I don't completely wear out my existing copies. :-) Perfect for trips too.

If legalities permit, cover art in small thumbnails that can be clicked upon to larger versions are wonderful too.

Kath,

Yeah, there will be jump links. Soonish. Page majorly still under construction. And inter-page links for the website page, as soon as I can remember how to do them with my EZ-for-Dummies software. This would be a lot easier (and faster) if I had a clue what I was doing. *grin*

I'm holding off on graphics right now, until I have the text up. Part of the problem (IMGDO) with the Penguin site is that they're so busy making things look prreeeeeety that they're not getting to the updated information.
