Tim Lewis, ALLi Author Member and Twitter chat host
Last week on the ALLi Twitter chat (#indieAuthorChat) we asked questions to Nate Hoffelder, founder of the Digital Reader and website expert. The ALLi Twitter chat starts 8pm UK Time on Wednesdays (that's 3pm EST and noon Pacific Time) under the hashtag #indieAuthorChat and lasts for an hour. We ask a guest questions and they answer on Twitter. The tweets below are only the questions and answer tweets not every tweet on the chat. The topic this week is six common website mistakes.
This wednesday we have Amanda Brown, the Homepreneur, answering questions about how best to work from home.

Your home page needs to send a clear message about what you right, and why they should be interested. #indieAuthorChat
It appears to me that you have made an error in your word choice. Did you really mean “what you right” or did you mean to write “what you write”? I’m sick of the errors. Put down the meth pipe and try to do a better job of editing your work.
I have screenshotted this comment, and I would like to thank you for contributing an example of how not to errors.
Agreed. I used to design my own websites using Dreamweaver and a little bit of source code fixing. But it became more and more complicated as CSS and dynamic content came in. When Google gave preferential treatment to mobile-friendly secure websites, I switched to Squarespace which takes care of everything but the content. It’s not perfect, but it’s a good alternative to WordPress and plug-in juggling.
Very useful posting. Thanks for that
