Last night, in somewhat of a daze due to half a bottle of wine and a Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton concert on tv, I signed onto Twitter. I've resisted it until now and have no idea what to do with it. I think it may be a cross between facebook and stalking, except that you only sign up if you want to be stalked. I've yet to work out how to link it to other virtual places people inhabit but I'm sure I'll get the idea. For anyone who would like to stalk - I mean, follow - me, I'm aliartefacts.
Yesterday's post wouldn't link (Ali technology fail) so if you're reading this, please read the previous one!
First Blog Post!.Oh dear, no-one likes to be first to arrive at a party, do they? I didn't have a website when my archaeology book was first published. In fact, my publishers did all the work for me. Now I've published a novel, all that's changed. Everyone tells me I must have a website and I must have a blog. So I set up the basics and published it straight away, knowing from experience that it would probably take at least a month for search engines to pick up the metatags (oh yes, I can talk jargon, don't tell anyone but I used to be a computer programmer!). I thought I'd have weeks to build the site before anyone noticed it. Wrong. Google's found it within a week. Not that I'm complaining. Well, here it is. I've no idea how easy it will be for people to post comments or whether I get to approve them. Expect a few more posts over the coming weeks. Ali. This is your new blog post.
