The fatosphere lit up like a dynamite-encrusted birthday cake last week when a CBS anchor, Jennifer Livingston, addressed on air a man who wrote her a letter chastising her for setting a bad example for viewers. Her transgression? Being too fat. Her on-air response was intimate, eloquent, and powerful. She spoke of the pain his message had caused her and urged other victims of bullying to honor their own strength and worth. Shortly thereafter, Ragen Chastain, of Dances with Fat acclaim, started the Better than the Bullies Campaign , which includes videos and letters from victims of weight bullying to their victimizers. As she writes on the site, “ We are standing up, we are fighting back, we are better than the bullies . ” Like most fat kids, I was bullied during my school years. Because I support Ragen, because this is National Anti-Bullying Month, and because I kinda like me and feel somewhat eager to share the good feelings, I made my own video. My eternal thanks to Kris...
I don't think everyone needs to have a complicated or fancy website. As long as it lists the important info and is easy to navigate, I'm completely fine with simple websites. That said, yours looks great! And I like the fact that you showcased your wit on your "About" page. Great job, Elle! -Fredric @ Local Marketing Guru
ReplyDeleteI agree with Fredric! A good, effective website doesn't necessarily have to be graphics-heavy or flashy. As long as it's up to date, easy on the eyes and easy to navigate, then you'll keep your visitors.

Really liked you website. I'm an author myself and am currently in the process of revamping my website. I think the tough part about websites for authors is creating a functional website that does not take away from the content of work itself. Your blog gave me a lot to think about, thanks!!!
