If you try the free account you get to enter about 100 of so but you still get to use their widgets like the ones in my sidebar (if using IE6 check way down the bottom of the page) and I have the book covers connected to an Amazon associate account via librarything too. I use it mainly as a way for people to see some of the books I read in connection to my art work and for people to get a feel for the things I'm interested in.<BR/><BR/>I love books, I wish I had more of them and more time to read them :D<BR/><BR/>xxxFlorence Forresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07539672176570172886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29400880.post-1164225937948150372006-11-23T06:05:00.000+10:002006-11-23T06:05:00.000+10:00yeah, well i published a magazine for 15 or so yea...yeah, well i published a magazine for 15 or so years. can you say "review copies"? kinda speeds up the process ;^)<BR/><BR/>i just can't even imagine starting on such a project, even though i wouldn't mind having it there <BR/><BR/>just the titles would take me forever....lotusgreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04393867916489599891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29400880.post-1164171791615279112006-11-22T15:03:00.000+10:002006-11-22T15:03:00.000+10:00Merly, You're Italian is simply flowing now :) Moo...Merly, You're Italian is simply flowing now :) MoonBeans are just so sweet and moony aren't they. <BR/><BR/>Captian, I saw you had Thinged I'll have to check you out there.
