New Website for "The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw"

In January, Outside magazine contributing editor Bruce Barcott took my basics of blogging class.  He already had a traditional HTML-based website, but he wanted a site that he could update himself without having to learn a complicated computer language. Later I provided a few hours of one-on-one coaching to help him implement his vision for the site using Typepad.com. 

I'm delighted to announce that Bruce's site is now live and I think he's done a tremendous job.  What's more, Bruce's new book "The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw: One Woman’s Fight to Save the World’s Most Beautiful Bird" is available in stores today.  Brucebarcott.com features all of his upcoming speaking events and additional background info on his work!  You can subscribe to Bruce’s site to get updates about readings, seminars, Belize travel information, and more!
