Well, thinking forward, kyrathaba isn't going to be all that you write... but if that's what you become known for it could be a good move.  I'd go with your full name... I don't think it's too long, especially if you're already using it on facebook.

(and thats a hard one to remember how to type as shown by the fact that I had to edit the post :))

kyrathaba:
I'd be happy to take you up on that offer, wraith, especially if you and rgdot are knowledgeable about Wordpress and could help me get my site set up. I've been regularly exporting Blogger XML data. Any of that importable into Wordpress?

kyrathaba:
I'd want the first thing showcased when they hit my landing page to be my book covers/titles, with links to purchase. In other words, make my Author section to landing portion, although I might have other articles about programming, etc., elsewhere.

kyrathaba:
Maybe wraith can contribute the space and rgdot can design a layout? You guys are awesome to make such generous offers!

An couple of good themes I've found:

http://www.authorlicious.com/

http://ithemes.com/purchase/book-nook/

The following are for writers, i.e. people who post writing... but some novelists post some interim short stories in their universe on the site:

And a couple of good ones that aren't specific to authors or writers:

http://elegantthemes.com/preview/Harmony/

A band theme, but with a little tweaking, it could be very useful for an author.

http://www.elegantthemes.com/preview/Memoir/
http://www.elegantthemes.com/preview/Glider/

Both of these frame the content well, IMO, and are very inviting to the reader.

A photographer theme, but again, I think with a little bit of maneuvering, it could be made to fit an author.  Again, I like the aesthetics enough that I decided to add it.

There a quite a few out there... it's just a matter of finding the one that appeals to what you want, or is close enough that you think you can make it work.

Let me know when you decide on and purchase the domain, and I can get you an account set up on my server as a start.
