Let me start by saying, my dear and faithful minions, that I am not in the least bit a technical person. Oh sure, I know a few things and can do a few tricks that leave utter noobs baffled (not that there’s anything wrong with being a noob, mind you). But for the most part, I am the biggest idiot alive when it comes to anything technical.
Take for instance, this blog.
I found this great template this morning. So I followed instructions, changed it…only then did I realize that the new template didn’t show my profile. So I changed it back. And that’s when I noticed that every single link I’d put on my blog (in the side bar…g’head…look) was GONE. Like an idiot (and believe me…I am) I foolishly thought my links (much like my posts) would come through. But alas, I was wrong.
So rather than fix it right now, I’m going to go for a walk and clear my head of the cobwebs that are up there. Then, after I no longer quite feel like throwing my monitor out the window, I’ll come back and try to right the wrongs.
But not now.
Right now I could just scream.

Everything looks fine now.
Don’t even worry about it. That’s the kind of thing even some professionals can do by mistake.
Really, it is all oh-kay now.
Go back to your regularly scheduled writing and editing
Suuuure, it looks okay NOW (I think…pretty sure I’m missing some linkage), but earlier…hoo-boy!
Of course, now I still wish I had a cool template.
Well, you could always copy the template you have to your computer, open it in any number of web-site creator/editor appications and then just go to town on it.
Playing around won’t cost you anything but time. You might even come up with something you like.
Speaking of templates and sites… when is your new site going to be up?
AND… when are you posting the cover art your publisher sent?
I may do just that–or…I may wait until my new website launches, then try to match it. The new site goes under construction July 1st, but no worries! That baby should be up by Halloween.
Cover art? Oh no, I got a glimpse at cover copy–you know, the stuff they put on the back of the book? So, when my amazing editor gives me the final cover copy and a thumbs up, I’ll let you all see. See?
Si!
I see
But not yet… maybe soon?
Passing out Minion buttons for you as I meet people who are interested… and yes, that does mean I talk your book up every chance I get… yours and Jackie’s.
Just doing my minion best
Jackie needs a name for her loyal followers now 
I loved the Hellions suggestion! =:)
Jackie’s book is going to kick serious bootay.
And you rawk outloud, Ewoh!
Speaking of rwaking… I just got a new seymor duncan acoustic pickup that fits in the soundhole on my acoustic guitars… now I can start playing with garage band on my Mac
Wheeeeeee… yet another activity to keep me from writing.
I’ll go with ‘Hellion” and “Minion”… they both work for me.
Squee!!! We’re Hellions!
Dude, speaking of guitars…you MUST play Guitar Hero for the PS2. It RAWKS!
ROFL… OK, but who’s going to buy me a PS2? That is SOOOOOOOO not in my budget
Tell you what. I sell my manuscript and I’ll buy one with the nice hefty advance.
Every writer needs a PS2. It’s prime procrastination in a box.
For even more fun, check out the XBox 360s…which I’ll hopefully be moving up to soon. (one can dare to dream)
((Jackie raises her head out of the sand))
If I had a PS2, I’d never get anything done…
((Jackie ducks back out, gunning to finish her draft))
Oh, but is soooo much FUN! hehehe
Get to work, girly! I should too…ninth grade won’t happen without me.
