A New Site

Apr 17, 2009 | Blogging, Websites | 28 comments

Here I am posting to my new website for the first time. Hope I don't screw it up! Thanks to Frauke Spanuth at Croco Designs for the gorgeous site!

Now, just as soon as I figure out my way around here, etc, I'll be holding those celebratory giveaways I was talking about at the old blog. This has been a while in the making, but I've certainly learned that web design is no simple or quick matter. It takes time to build all this fabulosity — which makes my previous little homemade versions look like the small potatoes they were (because I know next to nothing about web design).

This site will grow over time, of course. There will be more content, more fun stuff as I think of things I want. For now, I have much to learn about this site.

I do hope you'll have a look around. Let me know what you think! Leave a comment below and I'll launch my first giveaway. Everyone who comments will be entered to win a $5 Starbucks card and a book from my stash. I'll announce a winner next week. 🙂

More to come in the next few days….

  Hi, Lacey! It’s amazing what Frauke did, huh? I have to tell the story about the roses in another blog post. Because it wasn’t planned, but when I saw it, I was quite surprised.

Love the site, Lynn. And it matches your outfit in your photo! 😉

  How did I miss your comment, Marcy!? Sorry! Thanks, and when I had those photos done, I had no idea it would be such a perfect match. 🙂 Everything has worked out amazingly!

  Thanks, Carla! I’m sure it’ll take me a while to figure this all out, but thanks for leaving me a comment. 🙂

Stunning! What a fabulous new website. Kudos to your website designer.

  Hi, Marilyn! I have to get used to a WordPress blog now, LOL. I’m used to you showing up as PM. 😉
  
  Frauke is indeed amazing. And patient. Did I mention patient?

Thoroughly delectable site!! Had fun looking around when I should have been working 🙂

  Hi, Rachael! Hey, it’s distracting me from working too — not good! But it’s fun…. 😉

What a gorgeous website. The colour scheme is similar to the Spanish flag – something to reflect your first novel??!!
- Lynn Raye Harris on April 18, 2009 at 11:52 am
  
  Lucy, thanks for coming by! LOL, no, there was no plan to have the site reflect the colors of the Spanish flag. I simply told Frauke I wanted red. And dark words on a light background (instead of light words on a dark background).
  
  And then I sent her the cover — I think she took her inspiration from those rich, lush colors there. I am still amazed at how gorgeous it all looks! 😀

WOW!! Followed Mike’s link in his status on facebook to your site, and I’m very impressed!! What a beautiful site!! I’m sorry to say I have not yet read any of your books, but I will certainly change that now! I am an avid reader but haven’t read much Harlequin — keep the books coming, and I promise to start and continue reading!! Congrats on the new site, and good luck!!

  Hi, Colleen! Don’t worry, you haven’t missed any of my books. The first is out in August. 🙂 You can read an excerpt on my Books page, if you’d like! Thanks so much for dropping by!

😎 I followed the link that Mike posted. I am looking forward to reading some of your books. Keep up the good work!

  Hi, Kathy! Thanks for coming by. That hubby of mine, he is so sweet. 🙂 I hope you enjoy poking around the site! Be sure to read the excerpt — hope you enjoy it.

Lynn–
Beautiful website. Congratulations! I am about to bookmark it.
- Lynn Raye Harris on April 18, 2009 at 7:16 pm
  
  Hi, Jean! Glad you like it, thanks!
Mari on April 19, 2009 at 2:57 pm

Nice site! I look forward to reading your books as I love books with mediterrean heroes.
- Lynn Raye Harris on April 19, 2009 at 4:11 pm
  
  Hi, Mari! I’m so glad to hear you love Mediterranean heroes! My next book, CAVELLI’S LOST HEIR, features a Mediterranean prince and the woman who kept his child a secret from him. I think it’s delicious!
  
  I look forward to hearing what you think about my first book when you read SPANISH MAGNATE, RED-HOT REVENGE. 🙂

Well, I’m not usually a fan of red, but your site makes it work. 🙂 Congrats! (On your site and your upcoming book…)
Lynn Raye Harris on April 20, 2009 at 11:00 am

Hi, Jo! Thanks. Actually, pink is my favorite color. But red runs a close second. Probably wouldn’t leave the house in head-to-toe red, though. 😉
