SEO-Uh-oh & 3 new poetry books–Hilbert, Kerlikowske, Goepfert

06/12/2018 By Ellen Beals 2 Comments

Long time no write. I can’t exactly say what productive thing I did do in the past two to three weeks but it has not been writing in this space.

What I know about  SEO (search engine optimization) could fill a thimble. I noticed my posts would not show up in Google until weeks after I uploaded them. Turns out my site failed the mobile-friendly test. I found this out when I had to renewed my domain.

Thanks to Ilsa Brink, my site now has a new WordPress theme that should work better on mobile devices. But I still have work to do on my pages. In the meantime, I have been remiss in not telling you about some new poetry.

Congrats to Donna Hilbert who has a new book Gravity out from Tebot Bach.

Congrats to Elizabeth Kerlikowske who has a new book of poems that accompany art by Mary Hatch—it is called Art Speaks.

Also congrats to Gail Goepfert who has a new book of poems – it is called Tapping Roots.

It’s been raining and raining here. I found this leaf on the deck today and thought it was pretty.

Peace, love, and solace
