Is a good website that explains who she is and what she does.
My site, christammiller.com, did that for about 18 months. I had started to get my short fiction published, and was trying to sell my novel. The two-sided site hinted at an equality in the two kinds of work in my life.
Last year, all that changed. And over the last six months, I began to suspect my website would have to change with it. I had paid a small amount to have a friend design it for me, but I had no idea how to get rid of the information about my novel, or change emphasis on various places where my career seemed to be headed.
I’d heard great things about WordPress themes as versatile content management systems, and I love working with the interface, so I hunted down a great free theme. A new contact, who’s a lot more versed in WP technical issues than I am, installed it for me, and I found it pretty easy to tweak (or at least to get him to fix when my tweaks went wrong)!
So here it is: http://christammiller.com. It casts a broad net, but I figure I can tweak that as business goes along and begins to fall into place. Meanwhile, it’s a great place to showcase my published work. For free and easy, what more can you ask?

I hope for the greatest future for you–in whatever arena you choose. You have so much time to achieve everything you want. You are a great writer, a great mother, a great friend. And I will always be looking in on you.
Very snazzy, that! And a ton of content, too — it looks like you’ve been busy.
Beautiful site, Christa! I love the new look.
I hope you are doing well. I’m still plugging away. Whenever you want to talk fiction, I’ll be there. Right now, though, you are on the road to amazing things. Go for it, my friend! I’m rooting for you.
Looks good, Christa! I have a web address, but have never gotten around to creating an actual webpage. You’ll have to give me some pointers. I’d love to get it up and running as well as yours.
Thanks, Patti. I really appreciate hearing that – I think the same of you.
Chris, the content didn’t take TOO much time once I figured out how I wanted to express it. WP makes it easy!
Thanks Kristine. I am SO sorry I’ve been so crappy at keeping up. I’ve noodled a little on my zombie stories (mainly during our trip) but nothing substantive. I sure have terrible timing, don’t I?
Brittany, I found my theme here: http://topwpthemes.com/ There are a lot of beautiful ones! The only thing I didn’t know how to do, had to get help doing, was installing the theme on my host server. But I know other writers who do it and I’m sure if I had the patience to figure it out, I could’ve. I also had to tweak the theme using the author’s setup guide – though he (Jinsona) made it easy to follow. In all the WP interface made it really easy to put everything together that I needed and still leave room for further, future tweaks.
