I finally got a CMS to work on my husband’s website, Lord have mercy! What’s it been, two weeks?? The header is positioned correctly; I figured out how to remove the search form; and I’ve uploaded some images and entered some text. My husband will have to help me with the content because I have rudimentary knowledge of the things that he does.

As for the NaNo project, I have no outline, but character sketches and some questions that I’d written down. I’m getting closer to the mystery and have decided that I need to plan a bit. Yesterday, I started comparing wiki software when I read The Scribe’s post about outlining a novel with a wiki.

I spent half of yesterday and most of today researching, installing, uninstalling (when things didn’t work out), and hunting for alternatives. I found two outlining programs that I’m testing right now: NoteBook and Omni Outliner. So far, Notebook has a more intuitive interface. I’ll review both in later posts.

For now, I have some serious catching up to do. Although I don’t have high expectations of reaching the finish line, my goal is to surpass last year’s wordcount. I’m a hair’s breath away from that right now.
