It is - thank you for the explanation :)

That part in my FAQ came out of frustration - I wrote it after a guy basically copied my entire site, including website name, domain, and logo - he did this three times (the last time he also served the downloads from my server). I honestly don't mind people sharing the books at all, but I'm not going to lie - that was annoying, especially when, at one point, his site was second in the results when you searched for mine.

With the copyright, I was more talking about the logo, but I can see why I didn't make that clear.

But in general, I absolutely do not care when people share the books.

So point taken - I'll rethink it and re-word it in the next couple of days. Thank you :)

I've heard of Netlify and Cloudfare, but only vaguely know what they are. I think this is about the third time I've said this in these posts but - I will look into this too! Thank you for the suggestions :)

My process is very simple. They are way more technical than me. I start off by entering everything into Word and get the text nicely formatted, then I work from that to create the PDF, epub, and Kindle versions.

The ebooks I put out have definitely improved since I began the site though.

My abilities only run as far as HTML and CSS - although I did just start learning programming recently (so I have a fallback career in my fast approaching old age!)

I'm glad you like it!

Regarding the PDFs - I will look into that. I think I always assumed if someone was reading on a smaller screen, an epub would suffice, but I shall see what I can do with the PDFs.

It really is a pleasure :)

I'm glad you like the site!

I really do love doing it. Also, I just updated the about page and index page that had 8 years - it's actually been closer to 10 now :)

I didn't even know I could set up PayPal or Stripe to work without getting an email. I will look into this.

For what it's worth, the emails I send are never automated, and I literally send a thank you email, but no more (unless people reply back to me that is)

I just wanted to say thank you for the love shown to the site in the past few hours. I've never had so many sales and donations in one day!

I was so scared to post a link here. Someone suggested I should a few weeks ago, but although I read this site quite a lot, I never thought to post my site. I am not really tech minded, and my site is quite simple.

But last night, I thought - ok, just do it. So I posted this, and went off to bed (in the UK). Woke up at 2.30am and saw many notifications for sales, and just ended up getting up.

So thank you. I love doing the site, and I hope you all find it useful :)
