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.

Plan B

Remember last month when I announced I started a fugly Yahoo Blog to post upcoming historical romance releases? No? Well I did, and I even posted a link on my side bar and everything.

After much pondering I decided that a blog really wasn't ideal for this sort of information. A wiki was the way to go! Much easier to edit existing pages, and I can easily add links and graphics without slitting my wrists. So bye-bye fugly blog, hello wiki! Granted, you have those eye sore Google Ads to look at it, and it's still a work in progress, but hey - consider this a public service from your resident, historical romance lovin' Super Librarian. So bookmark it, enjoy, and keep in mind - work in progress!

Oh, and I changed the link on my sidebar as well. See, always thinking ahead I am.

Hey SL I loved your Wiki page. I added books to my TBB list too. Cuz you know every addict needs a pusher and I've faced the reality that you are mine. ;-)

Very nice wiki! I have it bookmarked.

Are there wiki hosts that are free? Like there are blog hosts? Just curious.

Rosie: I added more titles yesterday. I get a report from Books In Print (which I have access to at work) about once a month - so I'm thinking updates will only be once or twice a month.

Jennie: Yes, wetpaint is a free wiki site. The only downside is that they have those annoying Google Ads, and I'm not sure there's a way to get rid of them. I need to do some more digging....
