Okay, I am making some progress. Last night I spent some time working on my new website to coincide with the release of the cookbook. I am starting to decide that truly you can learn anything you set your mind to if you work at it. I registered my new domain name for the website. The company that is hosting my website suggested that I set up a CNAME to redirect traffic from my visible domain name to my hosting provider. What? So I literally just followed the steps of their instructions, and set up the rerouting of the traffic and guess what it worked!! I have no idea what I did or how it works on the internet itself but I guess I did it right because if I type in my web address, it redirects to my website and masks the name so no one knows it is actually hosted somewhere else. Anyway, see even in explaining it, you can tell I still don’t understand what I did. But it works; you just have to tiptoe through the instructions and hope that you don’t screw anything up too badly!
I also got an email from the publisher letting me set up more online bookseller sites that will host my books for sale including some new sites previously unavailable to me in Canada United States , Ireland , United Kingdom , Europe and now Canada
And best of all, I got the confirmation email that my proof has been shipped and should be here tomorrow! First hurdle crossed, since I am assuming they would not send me a proof if the book was completely assembled incorrectly so I must have done something right last week while laying out the book and the cover. So with my proof I will be checking the final proof for errors, margins, picture quality, stuff like that. I am so excited cause tomorrow I will see for the first time the result of all this work over the last six months!! Yippeee. Tomorrow may be a day full of tears when I finally see it.
