Blue skies today – but cold-ish, with temps in mid-40’s. Great visibility – I can see all the way to Mt Baker to the northeast – about 100 miles or more. Blue sky = blue water on the Puget Sound.

The “Light Blink – Book 1” book has a few sales, and three good reviews. But the process of promoting a self-published book is just as hard as writing one. I’ve got the web site (http://bit.ly/2IH9RdS ) and the Facebook page, and promote it via FB posts. Also tried a weekend ‘countdown’ promotion on Amazon, but no sales there.  Will have to try other techniques.

“Light Blink – Book 2” is still in progress. At about 40K words, heading towards the ‘big climatic finish’, but unsure of what that exactly is. Some ideas, but nothing concrete yet.

I was getting a big of automated spam from the Contact page here, so added my FormSpammerTrap contact form. In WordPress, that just means to make a Child Theme (quick and easy with the “Child Theme Generator” plugin), copy over the ‘page’ template from the parent theme, and then add four code lines to it. Upload, and the change the Contact page to include the FormSpammerTrap shortcode. That process took only 5 minutes, and works really well to block Contact form bots.

More work on Book 2 today.
