Blood on your lips
6 May
Not yours, but Liam’s anyhow.
Yeah, so, if anyone happened by here over the last few days, they may or may not have noticed that I accidentally killed the site. Like, Thursday morning or Wednesday night. I was trying to figure out how to host multiple domains with my single hosting account. First I screwed up by accidentally changing my hosting to windows, which tanked my wordpress installation apparently. Except I didn’t know because I went to see The Avengers with Hayley. And we spent the whole day before watching Avengers movies. So the next morning I woke up and my site was dead, and probably had been all day. Which is always hilarious when you have no idea why.
And by hilarious I mean it makes me shouty and stabby. So, hilarious in an impotent rage kinda way, which is awesome.
BUT! I did actually win that battle. Then made the mistake of updating wordpress, which decided to take issue with a twitter plugin I don’t even use and tank the site again. This problem solved…
I finally got to do what I’d been trying to do for the last three days. And so now, I have it. No longer exiled to a single lonely page at kvtaylor.com, Liam and co. now have a real space. I am super excited about this fabulousness:
It’s not done, but it’s got the skeleton in place and some fun character bits for the moment. More when the time draws nearer, but I couldn’t have that beautiful art and not do something with it straightaway. Even if this isn’t your kind of book, you gotta see Courtney’s Liam drawing. Yes, barring disaster, it will be used for the cover — though not as is. But seriously. Dude looks rad.
And now back to combing through his dirty manuscript so I can have a nice shiny version for the Belfire folks to work from. Yay!
That reminds me of the time I killed my .com site only it’s still dead(ish). Glad you’re up and running again.
And the new site looks awesome (and that book is so mine).
God, it’s so hard to figure out HOW we killed things, is the problem. Fixing is usually just a question of googling or putting in a support ticket. Diagnosing, though… gah. I hate being technologically stunted :/
Thank you about the site, though! It ain’t much yet, but it’s there. <3
I believe “Rad” is the right word, very cool! I’m glad you got the site back up and running. I had my own little snafu the other night while trying to update the router firmware. Seems like there’s always unforeseen circumstances when messing with technology.
ALWAYS. And yeah, updating things always makes me clench up, no lie. I just KNOW some bad shit is going to happen the second I touch it.
Yes, though. Rad! I like it!
Katey, you don’t do things by halves do you! The site looks great and that drawing is fierce. I can’t wait to read the new book.
Haha, thanks Melanie. Yes, I do prefer to go balls to the wall on things, now you mention it. I’m excited it seems like your kind of thing (I think it is, now I’ve got to know your taste, but what do I know?). So happy!
Harebrained literary analogies? Can’t wait. =]
Haha yes, Liam is of the opinion that books make much more sense than people.
He is not wrong.
Thanks, Milo!
