Moving To Squarespace…and thank you!
[image error]Just letting you all know that I've decided to move Inkygirl to Squarespace. I appreciate all your suggestions, info and feedback. While I'm moving some of my sites to Squarespace, some will be moved to other services some of you have mentioned (still researching the latter).
No need to change your bookmarks; I'll just redirect Inkygirl.com to the new site when it's ready.
The main reason I'm moving Inkygirl is because I want to cut down on the amount of tweaking, admin and security issues I...

Wordcount Challenge Check-In: 250, 500, 1000 wds/day
For those who encountered the malware warning over the weekend, Inkygirl has now been scrubbed cleaned (HUGE thanks to my hubby). Will post about what happened later today but basically, Inkygirl got hacked late Friday night. Didn't get much writing done over the weekend. [image error]
Do you need a wordcount challenge with some leeway?
Check out the challenges below:
250 wds/day | 500 wds/day | 1000 wds/day

Time management and focusing on the CONTENT
So it looks as if Inkygirl's been hacked again. This time the hack is more subtle (no malware) and only noticeable in search engines. If you try entering "inkygirl" in Google right now, here's what you get as the top hit:

Chris Pearson encountered the same hack and posted a solution, but it didn't work for me. I admit to being frustrated, especially after Jeff spent so long cleaning up after the first hack, and all the time I've been spending on repairs as well.
And this has got me thinking...

Writers: take this health challenge & increase your productivity
I find that whenever I start slacking off the daily exercise ("I have too much WORK to do…"), I inevitably start feeling more and more tired and uninspired. I'm trying to get in the habit of doing a power walk a day — by "power walk," I mean a walk that is brisk enough to get me slightly out of breath and sweaty (though the latter's not hard to do in the recent Toronto heat wave, ugh). I used to run, but some knee problems scared me into a lower impact exercise.
Some days, though, I get so...
Book Signings: amusing video and some advice
Above: "Signing in the Waldenbooks by Parnell Hall," which I discovered via Moonrat at Editorial Ass. Moonrat also offers some great advice about How To Throw An Awesome Book Launch.

Over-enthusiastic spam-blocker
Apologies to those who recently tried posting a comment and were accused of being a spambot by one of the Wordpress security plugins I was trying (Invisible Defender). I've deleted the plugin so you should be able to post normally.
I have a policy of moderating the first comment anyone posts, but once you've had a comment approved you should be able to post without having your comments moderated first.
Inkygirl is BACK...and some security tips for other bloggers
As some of you may already know, some of my sites were hacked on the weekend. If you notice some missing images and features from this site, that's why -- I still haven't finished the finetuning after major damage control had been done.
Many thanks to those who e-mailed, tweeted and sent me Facebook messages about the problem, and to Cid of Cidwrites.com and others for their advice. Biggest thanks to my technonerdboy hubby, Jeff Ridpath, who s...
