It's not fancy, but I ended up happy and I used a $5/month service, which is a fine, fine price. It comes w/ free updates so I can add more info (like cover art and calendar info) as that comes along.<br /><br />According to your great post, I followed the rules! that's good to know - especially since I was kind of shooting in the dark on it :DTesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014195715998913268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-36915452291872809502010-04-12T09:20:11.890-04:002010-04-12T09:20:11.890-04:00Nice review of the websites and their purposes.

My problem is that there is a famous gay porn star whose screen name is my real name: Matthew Rush.<br /><br />Go ahead and Google image search him ladies, he IS hawt.<br /><br />But arggh does it suck for me. Any Google search will return hundreds of links for content related to him before it mentions me or my blog. Or at least it will until I become published. Then it will still probably be tens of links.<br /><br />Maybe I should consider a pen name.<br /><br />Shameless promotion for all your other reader/followers:<br /><br />I have an awesome guest post today on my blog by Cole Gibsen.<br /><br />This one is pure query/submission gold folks in which she shares the ACTUAL query that landed her an agent and the correspondence that ensued.<br /><br />Please stop by to read, comment and follow.<br /><br />Thanks!Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-22399995885487819382010-04-09T13:52:08.030-04:002010-04-09T13:52:08.030-04:00This week has been a great series.
