Hello!
I just spent hours updating and re-vamping my author website on Wix. You can visit it here:
I was just informed by Wix that they are raising the annual price of my website by a whopping $100.00. I had thought of upgrading my blog to a WordPress website, but I’ve talked to too many people who have had problems with their WordPress websites. I’ve seen some people leave WordPress because of it. So, I will keep my WordPress blog and promote my Wix website separately. I’d rather pay a little more for reliability. Plus, Wix is user-friendly.
Thanks for visiting!
Ciao!

I like WP. I do not like their penchant for “improving” the site without notice. Nor do I find their statistics reliable at all; what they offer is misleading at best. I used to have a WP business account. Frankly is was not worth it. Only on one other site at a premium rate, but left it because administrators refused to control the children who joined the site and promptly made it a laughingstock. Best of luck with your efforts wherever you focus. I’d miss you if you left WP so I’m glad you’re staying.

Thank you for your kind words. I have no plans to leave WordPress, but I don’t trust them, either. I really appreciate your comments. Have a wonderful day!

That certainly was a lot of work for all of those links. Looks good girlfriend. I agree with your decision to have a blog separately from your website. I have done that for the past 20 years and it just makes good market branding sense. Bravo Dawn! šš¼ Continue to gain your momentum my dear. Enjoy the rest of your day! ššš

Your website looks good. I’ve had WP for over ten years and have been happy with it. š I’m beginning to read Hidden in Childhood and look forward to journey. Congrats on the publication of your poems in the collection. š

Thanks, Lauren! I’ve had Wix for about that long. I guess I’ll stick with what I know. Yes, Hidden is a wonderful collection of poems! Enjoy!
