Jonathan Strahan on author’s sites

Seems I’m not the only one with something to say…

Provide information people expect. If you are an author and you are putting up a web page add a “News” section. In a fit of foolhardiness, actually call it “News”.

A website is a communications tool. Use it. Be clear, be concise and be obvious. Make sure your site has obvious sections, set out clearly.

So simple. So seldom done right.
