After much pain, sweat, and toil (read: putting off writing the next scene in my WIP), I’ve completely revamped the Pop Books website. If you’re an author in need of site/design work, it’s the place to go.

Pop Color is next up on my redesign list, though I think I should finish my WIP before tackling that.

Photo editing 101

For the photographers out there – interested in how I edit my photos? Well I’m covering some photoshop basics (contrast, dodging & burning) in a webinar on March 28th. It’s part March’s event for the Muse Project. For all of $10, you get to see me in action!

Books and tumbles

I’m the proud winner of SAY THE WORD by Jeannine Garsee! She’s the awesome creator of GRAPEMO, which I’ve had the great pleasure of participating in this month. (We’re hopefully extending the Grapemo deadline a week. If so, maybe I can actually make my PWG.) My teaser was entered into a random drawing, and I won her book! Can’t wait to read it.

On another note, I’m officially in love with Tumblr and have setup my micro blog at feonua.tumblr.com. It’s full of weekly themed quotes, photo snippets and random thoughts. I need more people to follow–so if you have an account there, let me know and I’ll friend you.

Also, if you haven’t read it yet, Brina’s latest addition to Deciduus is beautiful.

Quite by accident, or through random tweeting, I came across various blog posts listing YA authors on Twitter. It’s a great idea, and seeing as there was no YA Twitter directory, I decided to make one. Introducing ReadWriteTweet, a Twitter catalog of agents and all things YA.

Updated 7/25/09: Current listing totals are: Agents (80), Info (9), YA Authors (241), YA Characters (13), YA News (10), YA Reviewers (28).

RWT also has its own Twitter account, and an online form where you can add to the directory.
Happy tweeting!

So, what’s been keeping me so busy and quiet? A large, online guide to Walt Disney World: eGuides Intl.

Be forewarned, it’s still in the development stage, so several of the main links don’t work yet: info, attractions, shopping, dining, events, and resorts. While that may seem like a lot all the other links, their sublinks, and sub sublinks, for the parks are complete. Currently there are 779 photo galleries, spread across 1,055 pages. Not too shabby.

Today I discovered Shadowbox is not Vista friendly. Ah Vista, the anti-social operating system. The PC Newswire says it all.
In light of this, I redesigned the Elwood Construction site (now officially live at buildelwood.com) using flash instead of the Shadowbox slideshows.

Different look, but I like it. Also sent off a print order for fliers and business cards this evening (in between making spaghetti and meatballs).
