I've
been working straight for four days. I added a page to list book
excerpts, standardized excerpts throughout site, and created
"bread crumbs" to help find the way to the excerpts page.
I also created images for book awards and inserted those next to
appropriate listing in bibliographies. And I updated some of the
older pages, replaced MostlyFiction.com home page logo with "bar"
on non-home pages. Hopefully have caught all bugs introduced with
these changes! |

Actually
made a lot of subtle changes. Besides fixing the normal embarrassing
typos and grammatical errors, I changed links to Amazon.com so
that the user is brought directly to the book page, rather than
an interim page that references "similar" books, as
