Where
Do I Start
on my Writer's Website?
Start with you—
who
you are and what you know—
then Put Your Brain
OnLine to the
world.
Here are the steps to get you started:
1.
What is your platform?
Who are you? What do you know? Why should
people care? More...
2. Your site’s
purpose
How can you help readers?
Define it in one sentence. More...

your readers. More...
4. Your site's design
A website is not a collection of articles
like a magazine, or of chapters like a book. Its
design is quite different. More...
5. What makes a good web
page?

engine optimization in mind. More...
6.

If computers don't scare you, you

work with a website designer. More...

We've all heard stories of website
design disasters, but far fewer stories of
successful collaborations. Why? More...
8. Website hosting
A web host is the computer
server that puts your website on the Internet.
There are good hosts
and
bad.
Which is right for you? More...
9. Illustrations on your website
Your writing may benefit greatly from
color images, diagrams, charts and illustrations.
Put them online and they become your own worldwide
