Blaylock Literature Map

I did a search on James Blaylock to see what would come up. One of the links was this ‘map’ projecting what else his readers like and the interrelationship. Great idea and can see myself messing around on this site obsessively.

The only thing is, I couldn’t see Tim Powers on there… Oh no, there he is!

Bursting my Dot Com Bubble

OK. I have no (or very few) readers right now, so I am going to stop trying to rake in the millions by putting up Amazon Widgets and Adsense banners etc. I’m going to make this Blog ad-free once more, like the good old days.

Perhaps then, all those good devoted blog readers out there will forgive me and start reading. Or maybe the Adsense police will come and get me. I didn’t read the small print; perhaps I’m forbidden from deleting the gidget thing…

Adsense has so far mostly spit out things I wouldn’t use or am not interested in so I feel it is at best irrelevant and at worst dishonest to display it here.

The Amazon one had to be removed as it affects loading time and seems to mess up the page. I don’t mind advertising for them though as I buy from them whenever I can afford to.

I shall continue to post links to Amazon products and to other companies if they are relevant to the content and if they are something I either own or would get myself.

Catrambo’s top tips for new writers

I found this link on Matt Staggs’ site and thought I’d post it here. Particularly interesting to me is the ‘Online Writers Workshop’ which I shall have a look at now.

Thank you Matt and Cat.

eScholarship Editions from UCal

I quote from the site:

The eScholarship Editions collection includes almost 2000 books from academic presses on a range of topics, including art, science, history, music, religion, and fiction.

Access to the entire collection of electronic books is open to all University of California faculty, staff, and students, while over 500 of the titles are available to the public. Print versions of many of the electronic books can be purchased directly from the publishers.

Nice.
