Redesigning the Website

The site has been glitchy and down in the last couple of days as we're changing over to a new host. The transfer is now complete and we're going ahead with a site redesign. I've lots of ideas of what I want to do, but I'm also feeling that those ideas must somehow be coherent and work together in a unified theme. Now, just what that means at this moment I'm not sure. It's the decision thing.

My website designer, Connie Cox, Websites for the Arts, has suggested that I make lists of what I want the website to accomplish and who the target audiences might be. I'm a great listmaker so that feels right to me. However, narrowing down all these I'd like to do choices is another matter. I'm writing the new paranormal to a deadline right now, and of course that's when I get these great new ideas about everything! As if the writing is priming the creativity pump. That's good and possibly problematic because my attention or focus can jump on whatever wild idea and ride like the wind, leaving my deadline in the dust until I rein it in.

So, with that in mind, I say WHOA to this website redesign ride and get back at my fun new paranormal. Then on the weekend, I'll cut the redesign pony out of the herd and take it out for a gallop.
