Hi..I have a technical question. I like your Book Index. How did you do this??
Your blog is excellent and so well written. I visit frequently..

Hey Joyce,


Thanks for the good word. I love your blog too!

I think that you will laugh when I tell you about my book index. Blogger allows the user to set up a separate page which I did. Whenever I add a book I just hit the Edit symbol and throw it in where it fits in alphabetical order. This is very inelegant and if you look closely i have not gotten the fonts and sizes exactly correct. I searched for an application or plug in to do this but I could not find anything that works well.

Should you find a better solution please do let me know.

All the best.

Hi Brian,
Occasionally I lurk around on other blogs (linking from Tracy's, in this case) and was interested to see the books listed here. I read both Middlemarch and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress this year and couldn't resist commenting to say I enjoyed reading your take on both.

Brian Joseph said...

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the good word Kelly.

Both of those are such great books in very different ways!

Can I just say that I prefer indexes like this to be alphabetical by author. Then I can see your Trollopes, together, for example. I think it's the librarian in me.

Hi Whispering Gums - I would like to do an index both ways. I will do so if I can find a better way to index. I have not been able to utilize either blogger features or find a widget to make indexing easier or cleaner.
