Comments Turned Off

Because of a techical glitch that I just can’t seem to fix, every time someone leaves a comment, the entry reappears in the RSS feed. Since I’ve received very few useful comments anyway, I’ve elected to turn them off as a simple fix for the RSS problem. I apologize if this has inconvenienced anyone. Please continue to leave reviews for books at The Assayer.

Updated Site Layout

In celebration of the new year, I decided to update the site layout a little, to make it easier to navigate. I’ve added the “more info” section, will be writing a basic “how-to” guide to help new users, and more. I’ll also be going through the site to make sure that all of the book posts are on topic and properly categorized. Stay tuned for more changes!
