Hi Goodreaders- Just wanted to thank all of you for entering the Hamster Sam Book Giveaway! 749 of you from the U.S. expressed an interest in winning a copy, and 10 were selected by Goodreads as winners. Those books will be mailed out tomorrow, and I do hope that those who won will offer a review of the book here at Goodreads, as I enjoy receiving reader feedback, and who knows- your comments may help shape the next volume! For those who unfortunately did not win, I am sorry- but- I hope you will consider picking up a copy for yourselves or a young reader you know who loves to laugh. Thanks again to all the participants!

Help! I'd like to share my blog...

Hello friends! I am new here and I am excited about rounding up some friends and sharing my website blog with you all- however, I am having a little technical issue with importing my blog. ARe there any "techies" out there who use wordpress with comic easel? My website features pages from my book; i've posted about 3o pages or so to this point; and these comic pages of course- are featured on my "home" page. I also keep a blog at the site; however- whenever i try to use my RSS URL to bring my blog into Goodreads- it pulls my comic pages in, and not my blog page. I understand that the comic pages on my site are basically blog entries, and so those are being pulled in and not the blog. Does anyone know how I can get an RSS URL that will pull my blog pages in, and not my comics? Thanks for any advice you can give; I can write jokes and draw comics, but I will be of no use when the aliens come and test me for computer knowledge! :)
