Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments No-one has ever accused me of planning ahead and now is no exception.....

I am trying to put together a web site for the new book.

If you have contributed and would like an entry on the web site this is what you need to do :

PM me : The title of the PM MUST be "Group Book Entry"

If you don't call it that it might get buried.


You can give me any or all of these details :

1. A short blurb about you, your books, your pet terantula. (I'm not going to proofread this so any embarrassing typos will get on your page)

2. An Amazon link to ONE of your books (the amazon book code would be super!)

3. A link to your Blog/Website. In full. (My / key is nearly worn out).

4. A facebook/twitter/email link. I have no idea what a valid twitter/facebook link looks like so make sure it is right because I'm not going to test them. Only put an email address if you are happy for it to be seen on the web page.

Of course you don't have to provide all (or any) these things and I am open to a bit of flexibility.

The only problem is that I only get to upload details in the evening and I think the book is almost upon us so please make my life easy ....

Don't post your info on this thread because I probably won't be bothered to lift it and post on the web site.



I am waiting for Ignite to completely rewrite my web site then I will put a link up.....

Once I have updated the website I will PM you a link to your page.

Thanks.

(I told you I never plan ahead didn't I)


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Hmm, you can use this thread to pester me if I don't get back to you (very possible situation!)

Mark Faulkner (markrfaulkner) | 464 comments When do you want this by? I'm presuming as soon as possible but is there an absolute deadline?


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Well as soon as possible please. I haven't been told when it is going to hit the bookshelves but I will not have access to any web development tools next week so before Sunday or it have to will wait a week.


message 5: by Mark (new)

Mark Faulkner (markrfaulkner) | 464 comments I can manage before Sunday. I thought you was going to say tomorrow. Thanks


message 6: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Tomorrow would be good, though! :)


message 7: by Mark (new)

Mark Faulkner (markrfaulkner) | 464 comments I shall try. Nearly bed time for me now so won't be tonight. I'm very tired.


message 8: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Night night chuckie - I'm off to my own pit now.


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Ignite has given my web site her seal of approval and I think Patti said it was OK.

Now, if you want your own page you need to PM me the details please.


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I did not say it was 'Ok'

I said its awesome!


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments "awesome dude" actually. Patti has regressed to her teens since she started teaching again :-)


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments It was dood, actually. :)


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Oh. I thought dude was abit 70's :)


message 14: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Ok Dudes and Dudettes! Get the info rolling in! (To Simon, that is!)


message 15: by Michael (last edited Oct 10, 2012 02:37AM) (new)

Michael Cargill (michaelcargill) | 2992 comments I sent mine rolling on its way.


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments DM managed to get to me before I came to work. I have your stuff Michael, I will put it on tonight.


message 17: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments I have alerted Jenny who will no doubt be on the road again - we know a song about that, don't we children?


message 18: by Andrew (new)

Andrew Lawston (andrewlawston) | 1774 comments I've got my stuff in, hope it's OK Simon.

The wheels on the bus?

Philip Whiteland | 3377 comments Been there, done that!


message 21: by Andrew (new)

Andrew Barrett | 1537 comments Mine's with Simon now too :)


message 22: by D.D. Chant (new)

D.D. Chant (DDChant) | 7663 comments I've sent mine!


message 23: by Michael (new)

Michael Cargill (michaelcargill) | 2992 comments No you haven't.

Everyone ignore DD Chant, she's telling fibs again.


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Just giving this a bump. If you can get info for me in the next couple of hours it will be put on tonight.

It would be nice if as many author pages as possible have a page up when I release the web address.

Anyone who hasn't given me detail by Sunday will be likely to miss the boat on this one. The web site is officially 'Awesome dood' so there will be gnashing of teeth if you have to wait an extra week to get your page on......


message 25: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Could I send you Jenny's details and her (through the group) Amazon link? I think she'll be travelling.


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Yes Ignite, that will be good!


message 27: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Done it - but I forgot to put the Group Book thingie as the title, I think.
D'Oh. Doesn't augur well. eh?


message 28: by Ray (new)

Ray Daley | 20 comments I submitted stuff but I have no idea if it got in or not, let me know?


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Something got in Raymond. I can't see what at the moment because I am at work.....


message 30: by Andrew (new)

Andrew Barrett | 1537 comments I must say, the page looks wonderful. A credit to all those who've made it what it is.


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments "No World for Vampires"

Oops, did I accidentally reveal the name of Raymonds contribution?

message 33: by Simon (Highwayman) (last edited Oct 10, 2012 04:42PM) (new)

Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Hello all,

The web site seems to be stable.

Quite a lot of authors still haven't given me any details to add to their page. This is a risky strategy because I don't know the launch date but will probably not be able to update any pages after Sunday AM.

I am expecting a flurry of twitter/Facebook/Google+ activity as soon as the book is launched (my little helpers are poised to make it go with a bang) if your profile on the book web page is not set up by then you might well have missed the opportunity, so help me out here and take a look at the first post in this thread. As soon as I have set your profile up I will give you a link so you can check and amend stuff.....


A Splendid Salmagundi - coming SOON!


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Little helpers indeed.

I feel like an elf.


D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments They don't taste so good...


D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments Can someone stick the Salmagundi text into wordle? :)




Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Wordle is very cool!

Had never seen it before. Thanks, Darren!


message 38: by Michael (new)

Michael Brookes (technohippy) I've only just spotted this thread - I've pm'd my details.

message 41: by David (new)

David Wailing | 834 comments Agh - have just stumbled across this! Will try to get something in ASAP.

Is it possible to email all the contributors and let them know about this?


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Do you have everyone's email Ignite?


message 43: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Probably. Who do you still need to hear from?


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Good luck getting that question answered,my dear. :)


message 45: by Kath (last edited Oct 11, 2012 09:50AM) (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments I'm off out this evening but I can check with the site and send out an alert to anyone not sorted in the morning. Is that too late for Simon to do anything?

Edit - just checked thread (when in doubt, check thread!) and it's not too late. I've emailed The Grand Master.


message 46: by David (new)

David Wailing | 834 comments I've just added a link to this thread on the other Salmagundi thread. That might catch the attention of some contributors who haven't yet seen this.


message 47: by Marc (new)

Marc Nash (sulci) | 4313 comments just seen this. will send my details over tonight (Thursday).
Thanks
Marc


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Thanks Marc,

I am updating now so if you get it to me I can do it straight away.

31 authors in the book. 15 have given me details so far.

If I don't get anything from an author they will still have a page but will miss out on a nice pretty picture of their book, an amazon link and other goodies.
