So this is summed up from the first post up until now? Do you plan on updating regularly?

The Mad Hatter said...

Yes, this should be everything I've done here so far. I'll be updating it every couple of weeks and I'll probably add some other info such as my hat rating or possible a symbol next to highly recommended titles. I was going to add my interviews as well, but I list them all in the right column anyway I decide not to for now.

Harry Markov said...

I plan to do the same and link to my top menu with an index or something. I need to develop a rating system of my own, which will have to do something with trees or mythological creatures. Hah! I am still trying to type a good about page about myself and the blog, but time flies so fast that I am never able to.
