Yes, You Need a Website
It's no longer should I have a website? It's what should be on your website. Why? Because more and more readers are connecting with authors via their websites. Authors are building relationships with their readers. Don't believe it? Check out "If You Build It, They Won't Come: A Guide to Author Websites" at Publishing Trends. In this article they are quoting real numbers of readers who go looking for their favorite authors online. And the number is growing!

Liz! You are the greatest blogger! I always enjoy your latest ideas and inspirations.
I got a website going in '07 because of your advice. Now, I need to update. Can you revisit the advice on how to make your art web ready?
I have lots of 300 dpi cmyk files that went into printed work but I need your advice(again) on how to make it rgb 72dpi and look good on a website.
Janice,
I'm so glad you enjoy my blog! And I love hearing that my articles help people in very real ways!
Making images web-ready is tricky, however. So much depends on what software you have available to you. I do know some people use accounts like flickr and photobucket because they will size images down automatically, but that doesn't give you much control and they tend to name the file something unidentifiable.
I'll keep my radar up for better information to share.
:)
