Labor Day Launch

A good weekend was had here, with lunch on the beach, a trip up to Boston, and some good D&D time. I got to have Brian LeTendre from Secret Identity Podcast at one of my Living Kalamar tables, which was too fun.

The big news from this weekend, however, is that (despite its being Labor Day and therefore a day of rest), Julia Bauder, my web designer finished my page. You can visit it at http://www.virgilandbeatrice.com (although those of you who read my livejournal will find the front page remarkably similar to this blog). Information about all my projects is displayed on the links. It's been working a bit better in non-IE web browsers, but we're working on that (as well as possibly adding banners of friends somewhere on the site; not yet sure where that'll happen).

So, come visit!

I like the layout.

Thanks! I just looked at it in firefox for the first time last night, and am terribly pleased with how it turned out. ;)

Cool site, great picture. :)

Thanks! Last year at GenCon I made all the other authors jealous. ;) (If you lived in Connecticut, I could refer my photographer, no problem. *g*)

I can imagine. Actually, I'm in the Chicagoland area (only 4 hours from Indy) and I'm probably going to avoid an author's photo until I lose at least a hundred pounds. Plus, if I don't let [livejournal.com profile] darkfluffy do it, being that she's a fairly talented photographer, I'd probably get in trouble. :) Something about not using spouse's services...

Beautifully done, all the way around. And it occurred to me that I had not seen you nor even an image of you in seven years. Wow. You're clearly not a college kid anymore.

Good luck with the site. Remember that sites, like software, are never finished.

Thanks Jeff. I'm really pleased with that photo (and will probably use it until it no longer looks like me...)

Now that it's up, I keep thinking of more things I want to add... but I don't want to pester Julia too much, saint that she is for doing my web design for cookies. ;)
