A chronicle of the meanderings, false starts (which in retrospect, while sort of embarrassing turned out to be highly instructive), epiphanies, selective apathy (still evolving), wild mood swings, opinions (subject to frequent change), and life lessons of an inveterate dabbler (and her latest dabblings).

Lune Grows Up

With its own little website!

I recently had a piece accepted for publication, and wanted to have a website link that could be included in the magazine (I didn't have one last time, which is why, I suspect, I got almost zero traffic from the article). I had an old domain name at GoDaddy I'd been hanging onto forever, and decided to activate it. I used Wix.com to design the site, and boy was it ever easy!!! You can design the whole site before spending a dime--so you know whether you want to spend the money--and the fees for a basic service are very reasonable. I highly recommend it! (I do NOT, however, recommend Website Tonight at GoDaddy--non-functional piece of junk.) This site was based on a pre-fab template, but you can change all the colors, backgrounds and photos to make it completely your own, and adding/subtracting elements is easier than falling off a log.

Here it is: www.lunestudio.com

  1. WOW totally cool!! I've been thinking about that alot lately too. But I've seen Etsy shops url's used in magazines so didn't think it was a big deal. Great job!

  2. That looks so excellent! I toyed around with wix about a year ago or more, but never bothered. Maybe I'll do it sometime. Very impressive.
