The last board upgrade made it so URLs and images were disallowed in signatures. The rule is only checked when you edit your signature, though. So if you had URLs/links in your sig before the upgrade, as long as you don't edit your sig, the software will allow it.

It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

Good stuff, looks much better that way. My ice-style banner idea would likely have been just as distracting in a different way, so i think this is a much better solution.

Now you've only got to worry about the minor problem of consistent updates with interesting content. How hard could that be?? :)


HAHA! Indeed.

Updated today with a review of Mike Carey's first Felix Castor book!


Nice review, although I thought some of the details might be a bit spoilery (couldnt find anywhere to comment on your blog itself) . The one thing that you have going for you is that as a new blog you can get a whole bunch of reveiws going on books that aren't exactly new, but have that you have read recently. Best of luck to you!

Sorry if it's a bit spoilery, I tried to keep it as spoiler-less as possible. You should be able to leave comments in the comment link at the bottom of each post.

It was nothing major, don't worry about it.

Grief was kind enough to drop the link to the blog into my sig for me, so now y'all can easily access it. :)

I dig the new logo! That header still takes up a ton of real estate, though.

Yeah, that's the graphic designer in me being a showboater. LOL!

Nice looking site, I shall keep an eye on it :thumbsup:

One issue - it's really jittery when I try to scroll up/down, like the pictures are huge or something (but I don't think they are because I downloaded one to check the size). Dunno, it's wierd. I don't have that issue with other sites...

I'll look into that on another browser tonight and see if anythings astray.

Thanks for the kind comments.
