All I did was create a new page (there is a link to do this on your dashboard if you use wordpress) called Poetry, then for each poem I create a new page and used the "parent" drop down menu to put each poem on the Poetry page. Hope that helped! Sure.

In case you didn’t know, he just did a video with FunnyOrDie - he plays a guy who does his best to punch up eulogy speeches, and although his enthusiasm doesn’t always translate so well, it’s pretty entertaining. You can check it out on FunnyOrDie (http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/31f41f0ed1/eulogy-punch-up-artist/), and I've included the embed code below should you want to post on your site – thanks in advance for the consideration.

]]> Comment on The Downfall of Publishing? by sandysays1 http://aprilhoffman.wordpress.com/2009/01/26/the-downfall-of-publishing/#comment-172 sandysays1 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:44:27 +0000 http://aprilhoffman.wordpress.com/?p=394#comment-172 Like you, I've watched publishing thrash about looking for solutions as it tries to maintain the status quo. Many of the things that are happening, as related in your post, are true. The unfortunate part of the story is that the core of traditional publishing is bent on committing suicide. They refuse to see, understand, observe, take your pick, that their current path of corporatizing an art form "ain't workin'." Most hard core readers prefer a print page over a screen, just ask. BUT, the trend toward constricting new ideas and new authors drives readers to the net. In the name of industry "survival" we're down to a handful of book stores, publishers, agents, and, yes, major authors. The biggest rewards in this corporate industry are reserved for those who say NO. Operating on the theory that if a little poison fails to work, one should increase the dose, we should soon see one major pub house, one major marketer, computer gen fiction, etc. The astounding part is when evidence such as "Harry Potter" slaps 'em in the ol' kisser they're surprised, happy, and see no relation between cause and effect. I love writing, books, and regardless of the tone of my comment here, that love extends to publishers and even (gulp) agents. In order to improve my craft, I did my own survey- stood in front of bookstores and libraries- and took 202 observations from avid fiction readers who prefer my genres. Wow, is the what they want different from what they're getting. I hope there will be an enlightening, but barring that, I'm afraid RIP. ### If you could use a few laughs, visit me at www.SandySays1.wordpress.com and read a few of my blog entries.
