Update: These instructions have been updated as of April 2009.
As writers, we all hear about how we need an author website. But sometimes a custom-made site using website programs looks blocky. And sometimes, they can be a pain to update—trust me on this one, I speak from experience.
The best way is to pay someone to make your website and update it for you. However, if you’re a control freak like me, you probably want to update your website on your own.
If you know html and have a hosting site, you can have someone design your website template, and then you can update it yourself by changing the text code.
However, if you’re not html-savvy, I wrote an article called “How to Make a Blog Your Website.” It’s instructions on how to set up a Blogger blog to look more like a website that you can update yourself.
It’s got detailed instructions for the html-challenged. Because of the html code, I have it as a .pdf file you can download here:

Here’s an example blog/website:

I clicked on http://www.camytang.com/MakeBlogWebsite.pdf and got a "404 not found" message. Is that page offline, or is it a browser issue? While I use Firefox, I got a "page cannot be found" message from IE.
