These days Blogger or Wordpress blogs, along with traditional websites can be used with success. Lately, since my new release of A Perfect Angel, the sequel to Her Handyman, I've been promoting my contemporary romances a/k/a chick lits, I set up a website specifically for that type of genre. If you 'd like to take a look, here's the link:http://www.morgandoeschicklit.com
What about you? Do you use a blog for a website or use the traditional method? Please say which one, and leave your website url, so we can take a look at it.

Hi Morgan! I use wordpress.com Easy to use and if I can figure it out anyone can! :) Here's my url! Thanks for the opportunity to share it here.
ReplyDeletewww.darcyflynnromances.com
I would love any and all feedback. Thanks!
Darcy, I like your website a lot. It looks like a traditional website, but has the ability for feedback from those who visit. Great job? It looks like you bought the domain name, since it's a dot com and doesn't have wordpress in the title.
DeleteI use wordpress, www.MyBookaddictionandmore.com and also work with another site www.NovelNeeds.com.

Great idea, Wendy, to use two different types of websites to reflect the differences in what you're offering.
ReplyDeleteAfter having a plain html website for many years, I finally upgraded to a wordpress one a few years ago. http://kathrynsullivan.com
ReplyDeleteKathy, your website portrays just the type of fiction you write. Great job!
DeleteHi Morgan--
ReplyDeleteI have a traditional website done with Dreamweaver. My son designed it for me and taught me how to do updates on it. I also have a character blog done with Blogger.
website: http://www.loiswinston.com
blog: http://www.anastasiapollack.blogspot.com
Lois, I've always liked your blog. I just checked out your website, and it's totally cute, as are the book covers! And, I see there's room to add more books there, so keep writing!
DeleteI have a website that includes a link to my blog. A friend who is both a writer and a graphic designer (her profession) created the site for me, and makes changes as I request. She makes it easy. I use blogger, which I originally set up my self before linking it to the website. www.susanoleksiw.com
ReplyDeleteSusan, I love the view on your website. Very inviting!
DeleteI have a website at http://www.marjamcgraw.com/ and a blog at http://marjamcgraw.blogspot.com/ . I decided to keep the two separate. I've been blogging since 2010, but when I changed sites I lost my archives.

I like the way you mention your new series in the middle of the page, where it's very noticeable. It piqued my interest!
DeleteGreat layout and very authorly looking!
I couldn't afford two websites, so my webmaster combined my art and writing. Love what she did. Hope everyone will give it a look. Thanks for the opportunity to post.

Great idea for your website, Sylvia. I love that mystery title, the Corpse Wore Cashmere!
DeleteThanks for the chance to share our websites, Morgan. I had my website designed by Novel Website Design...they're fantastic to work with and really listen to you. I need to be more active on my blog (link to it thru my website) -- too easy to get caught up in Twitter and Facebook. My website is www.libbymckinmer.com
ReplyDeleteLibby, I always smile when I see your blog with the legs in high heels hanging over the side. Cute idea
DeleteI meant website, Lilbby, not blog. My fingers don't always obey me.
DeleteI have two sites right now and I'm able to manage both of them. The first is my main site, http://www.maggietoussaint.com and the second is my pen name site, http://www.rigelcarson.com. I adopted a pen name for my science fiction series.
ReplyDeleteMaggie, I can see how the websites do differ and portray what you want them to. And, I must say, you look very perky and welcoming on the main site!
DeleteHi, Morgan. I had my website set up with Geocities. When they closed, I stayed on with Yahoo Small Business. Here's the link: www.lindarettstatt.com
ReplyDeleteIt's great the way you show your books right on the home page, and that dog book looks like it will really be good, Linda!
DeleteHi, Morgan. I had a website on my old computer created with Microsoft Front Page, which Microsoft stopped supporting. I switched to Microsoft Expressions Web4, which is free, and actually copied and pasted my pages from the old website. It's so easy that I can make changes in a split second, which I do all the time. My blog on Goodreads consists of recycled blogs I do for others. That's very convenient and easy, and I can add a blog any time I want without the pressure of being on a schedule. I've never had a designated blog. My website is http://PollyIyer.com Thanks for giving us the opportunity to promote ourselves.
ReplyDeleteYour covers are fantastic, Polly. You did a great job on them. I especially like Insight and Hooked! And, it's great the way your books are visible immediately on the home page.
DeleteMy website is http://fictionforyou.com and my blog is http://marilynmeredith.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI like blogger the best, i had trouble with WordPress.
Marilyn, I'm constantly amazed at how prolific and talented you are! Great website and you sure have a great choice for readers to choose from!
DeleteMy main website is http://annherrickauthor.com. But there are changes coming up that may make it difficult to use, so I'm also relying on my website at Authors Den:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.authorsden.com/visit/author.asp?authorid=841
Ann, I keep forgetting about my stuff at Authors Den and haven't updated anything there for a while. I really should take the time! I like your regular website better with the girl flipping the book pages, so I hope the changes won't take too long for you. In the meantime, at least you have the Authors Den to tide you over.
DeleteI have a website at www.elizabethdelisi.com and a blog at elizabethdelisi.blogspot.com . I've kept them separate, but the blog sees more traffic, I think.
ReplyDeleteI love the pretty blue and green on your website, Elizabeth. Very lovely. I suspect many blogs get more traffic than websites, because they're more interactive. Also, I know I mention my blog more than my website, since I'm always posting new stuff on my blog, not so on my website.
