I have a new website!

Go to www.singingtotheplants.com/ to read all about my new book on shamanism in the Upper Amazon, or just jump to www.singingtotheplants.com/blog/ to go right to the blog. The old blog has been completely incorporated. Please let me know what you think -- comments, questions, suggestions all welcome.

I am posting this as a discussion, because I am truly looking for feedback.

    Steve,

    The website is really nice, and I am very excited about reading the book!

    Clicking on the "Steve's Other Books" tab, I was blown away to realize that you're the author of "The Cult of Tara!!!" Somehow I never realized that -- "The Cult of Tara" is a book I read a long time ago and refer to often. Gee, no wonder your name has always seemed familiar to me!

    Beautiful Steve?

    I especially loved Doña María songs - the frist one felt extremely familiar.

    I put your book on my wish list to get when it is released (not sure where I will be living then...)

    And what a plethora of great information you have created. A treasure trove indeed.

    All the best,

    David

    The site is beautiful, Steve. However, with my setting, Firefox 2.0.0.18, screen resolution 1024x768, WinXP, I report an error: The main body of the page is situated "out of screen" on the right, and there is no possibility to scroll to it, I have to click to the beginning of text I can barely see on the right and pull it / drag and drop it to the visible zone. Please remember that many people use portable devices with even lower resolution 800x600. I look forward to seeing this fixed and starting to enjoy your site fully.

      Strange as there isn't a problem with Firefox Version 3.0.11 with 1280x800.

        Safari 4 has this issue on Mac too. Firefox 3 on Mac displays it perfectly.

          >>>Safari 4 has this issue on Mac too. Firefox 3 on Mac displays it perfectly.<<<

          My Web designer tells me that the Safari 4 issue has been fixed. Please let me know if you are still having trouble.

          Thanks for your report.

            Steve,

            In Safari, there is now a scroll bar at the bottom of the page - as part of the page, not the browser window.
            I have to scroll the browser down to the bottom of a page, then use the page's scroll bar to scroll right to see the content.
            it should all probably center itself instead.

            Looking forward to reading your book!

      Thanks for the link Steve, beautiful site. I am going to read it all later, but I like it already. Loved the web design and I am having no problems to visualize it.

      Wancho, if you don’t like Explorer, have you tried Google Chrome? I had less problems with it than with Firefox.

      Peace,

      Wancho --

      Thank you for letting me know about this. I will pass the information along to the person who designed the site.

      I had a few similar problems with broken alignments when I was just in Peru, using really crappy old computers with 800 x 600 screen resolution. Alas, the fancier the CSS, the more likely the site will not work on all computers. Hopefully, we will get this all straightened out in time.

      Warmest regards.

      -- Steve

      Hey Steve, congrats on the book! It looks really interesting for sure. I was wondering if, when the time comes, perhaps we could work out some way to get a copy to me here in Chile. Paid, obviously, I'm just referring to the detail of getting it down here. I would love to read it though.

      Thanks in advance!

      :)
