Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Love In The Library

My blog seems to be looking wonky this morning. My banner isn't showing up. Since I republished and that didn't fix it, I'm hoping it's just a mysterious Blogger ailment and the ship will right in short order.

On today's agenda is a really fantastic library article written by children' book author Eva Ibbotson for the British paper, The Observer. I've only been half-paying attention, but UK libraries are in a state of flux at the moment, and Ibbotson's little article damn near brought a tear to my eye. All you hopeless romantics out there will adore it. It's like something out of a romance novel.

I really liked that article.

I think the reason your blog is loooking wonky is because the place you got the template from has exceeded its bandwith. What you have to do is host the images on your own, that way it doesn't happen.

I have a lump in my throat after reading that story.
