Things have changed just a bit at Patricia Fry’s blog site: Writing and Publishing News. You can now leave comments and you don’t need a special password. All you have to do, when you want to comment on one of our blog entries, is to click on “comments;” type in your name, email address and your comment and then answer a simple question (at the bottom of the comments page). Why the question?
If you have email, you know what spam is. You probably delete lots of it every week or even daily (like I do). Blogs collect spam, too. In fact, spam can be a horrendously annoying problem. It can clog your blog site, use up your valuable time and serve no good purpose, at all.
My brilliant webmaster, Virginia Lawrence, at Cognitext, worked on my website this week and made the changes necessary for us to allow comments. So take advantage of this opportunity. Join in and let us know what you think about my topics. Add to my resource lists. Give us benefit of your knowledge and experiences. As always, I’d like to hear from you.
And be sure to visit our bookstore at http://www.matilijapress.com. We have several books for writers and authors. Plus, this is the only place where you can get a copy of the out of print book, The Ojai Valley, An Illustrated History.
I stumbled into Ms. Fry’s site last night and thought I’d just take a quick look around before vanishing into the web haze. Instead, I was there for an hour or more, one tip or topic leading to others and on it went. As the author of three published novels, there is gold in these Fry hills. Looks like I came along at the right time, too. Love the easy comment format. No need to squint at code letters all jammed together like caramel corn. The approval questions down below are simple enough if your not a spambot. Even for a guy like me who has no book learnin’.
But I rant. Great site, Ms. Fry.
