Structural Changes

I've made some changes that will hopefully be improvements on our blog. For starters, I've added categories along the right with all the books we've read. Each book is linked to an amazon/deseret book type page for anyone who wants that. At the bottom of the same column you'll find an index. If you click on something like "Harry Potter" or "The Hiding Place", you'll get all the posts that refer to those books. This will be especially useful to Sam, Jennica, Lynness, and Maddie when they choose to join. I'm thinking it may also be handy if we forget what's been said about a book but are thinking about reading it.

If you'd like to save me some time and understand how this works, feel free to add your own labels to your post. This is how it works, briefly. When you're typing your post, between your own text and the "Publish Post" option is a tan bar that has "Labels for this post" in black text. If you type in the name of the book you're writing about, it will be added to our index. To keep confusion to a minimum, if you would just add labels for the books you're writing about (not the many other things you may mention...), that will help. Also - don't worry about adding a label if you're simply stating what book you will be reading. The index is mainly there to help us know what's been said about the book after it was read. :)

I'd love to know what you all think of these things too. And I've also been wondering if the colors are okay. Can everyone read it with ease?

Love
abby
