I don't know about you SE, but I always like to read text over pictures.


That's one of those things that I can't figure out.  It looks just fine if your browser is maximized, and your resolution is set at 1024x768.  Otherwise, the formatting is screwy.

And yeah SE, I need to put the links in the same order on each page.  That was just me being lazy.

Wow, I really like the new site design too. Did you do that yourself, HoM?

Yep.  Just don't look too close at the code.  It was entirely trial and error.

Just noticed this.  It's an easy problem to fix, the reason why it's doing this is becasue you've listed the things on the right (the text and page headder) first, so if you look at the table as code only as you resize the page the browser moves the items in order that they were first listed.  So the items on the right (since they're the second column in your row) get pushed down.  To fix it just switch the locations so the items on the left are in the first column and the items on the right are second.

Huzzah!

Well kids, I have just returned from the publisher and have a box full of books.  And really, the cover doesn't look as bad as I thought it would.

Covenant is doing an end-of-the-year inventory, so that might slow distribution a bit, but they should be in Seagull stores by next Wednesday at least (Jan. 5th).  The other chains (Deseret Book or Barnes and Noble or Walmart) take a little longer since they have to run everything through a central distribution center.

So buy buy buy!  Give them to all those people that you forgot about at Christmas.

I think everyone should buy you one for your birthday.  They should all buy you several copies.

So by "I have just returned from the publisher and have a box full of books" you mean that we can now start requesting you to send those of us unfortunate enough to not live near such a prolific author a copy of the book signed?

I'm good for a copy.  (Though, it's only fair.  After all, I'm expecting you to buy mine, and it will cost about twice as much....)

EUOL, I want a hardcover 1st edition copy in Russian, and I will wait for the English paperback. =P

Gemm,

I'm not sure if the Russian will be a hardback or a paperback.  Either way, I'll make sure you get one.
