I'm confused - I thought it was going to be free on Smashwords. Are we charging (for charity), are we going to hand out the coupon generally?

From my understanding, we put a .99 charge on it, so it will be accepted by Amazon (once it is added), and we offer a Smashwords coupon, so people can get it for free from Smashwords.

Amazon doesn't take from Smashwords until you hit 1k sales, though. Okay. I'll do announcements. Blog will have to be tomorrow because I already posted today, but it's up on tumblr and twitter. Working on Facebook.

Working on Facebook. It wasn't about sales, it was something to do with Amazon's treatment of freebies. Tales from Indies will have to be loaded separately to Amazon. I won't be able to get to that quickly.

[/quote]David, so glad you like the anthology. For next year's anthology, thanks for volunteering to coordinate it. :-)[/quote]
So my record of quick publishing of my 4 novels and 1 novella means that the 2016 anthology will be ready in 2023.

I have downloaded it and added it to my Kindle. I will read it. Once I have my website fixed, I will put up the buy it link. Thanks. If I get my act together and this works out for everyone, I would like to participate in next year's anthology. The little "buy it" widget from the Smashwords site requires me to add it in HTML code. I copied the text, but using the WordPress blog, I don't know how to tell it that that part is html. If anyone can tell me what else to add, I can put it up.

The free version of Wordpress hosted on Wordpress dot com doesn't allow javascript as far as I know. If you have Wordpress hosted by some other service then you could try clicking on the 'Text' tab in the new post window and then click on the 'Code' button to insert the <code> identifier. Paste the Smashwords buy button code and close code by clicking again on the 'code' button which will place a </code> identifier at the end of the Smashwords buy button code. Please notice I said 'try' as it has been years since I used a paid hosting service.

The code didn't work. I may figure it out later. I'll probably just publish without it.

Turns out that it works on my phone, though I don't see it on my site.
Thanks.
