Author Page Header

rustyken ๐Ÿšซ

If you are an author and have not reviewed you 'Author Page Header' recently, you might want to consider doing so. I suggest that you don't include information that is not currently accessible to the members of SOL. Having misleading or incorrect information could result in loosing readers. I ran across the issue recently which led to a significant amount of frustration due to the author including misleading information in his header.

What kind of information was wrong? Just helps to know what to look for.

Yeah, the new displays all new page headers, not the ones we chose on Bookapy, so I figured things were screwy. And since most SOL readers only log in occasionally, to access certain chapter updates, it makes sense they wouldn't know where the original stories went. But for those of us with both 'adult' (18+) stories, non-sexual stories and a few 'marked' stories, it'll likely be a while before casual readers fully catch up.

What do you mean by "author page header"? I don't think you're talking about the one on ZBookStore (the store formerly known as Bookapy - a tribute to the late Prince).

Is it what's on top of the page listing your stories when someone clicks on "Authors" and then your pen name? Isn't that header generated by SOL?

I was specifically referring to the 'banner image', however the original post suggested to modify the 'author page' description so readers will know that your others stories are still available. Though how you'd do that, without specifying the new website before the new servers are in place, seems especially โ€ฆ problematic.

So, any readers reading your description of what kinds of stories you read, and then don't any of them, react badly to the perceived deception. (i.e. it's more of a public relationships acknowledgement).

@rustyken

The following is to clarify the location to which I was referring:
At the top of the home page select 'Authors/Editors'
Next select 'Customize Home Page'
This is where you provide information to those considering reading your stories. Many authors apparently don't take advantage of this feature. So if you do, you should check it occasionally to make sure it remains accurate. My comments were prompted by finding one that had significant errors.

'Customize Home Page'

Aha, never knew that existed. I now have a customized Home Page. :-)

When I look at your page in ZBookstore, the banner reads "I paint images with word" on my iPad in landscape mode. In portrait it reads "I paint imagoes with w"

The banner is not scaling to the window size. Everything else is.

I didn't know that. I only access SOL and ZBookStore on a laptop with a larger external monitor which is in landscape. So what's wrong with a little intrigue? LOL

Sounds like a Lazeez problem. I don't know how to fix it.
