The assorted finds of Artefact Publishing
I have have spent some time yesterday and today improving the Multiple Personality and Dissociation Book List. Reviews are now able to be roughly rated by the administrator, and are listed in best to worst order. Hopefully none of the reviewers will be offended at this approach, and instead appreciate that it makes reading book entries with many reviews (eg, When Rabbit Howls) less harrowing, since the well-written reviews are first. Not, however, that they’ll necessarily realise that, since I’m only mentioning it here and not on the site itself, but it’s an improvement all the same.
I have also changed the book links from the reviewer pages to point directly to that review — again, something potentially useful for books with many reviews. I am assured that no one will use this, but I don’t care.
Finally, it occurs to me that the scripts which run the site might prove useful to others who want to do something similar, as none of the code relates to the content of the database. I shall think about the possibility of packaging them up into a nice bundle (which probably means a lot of refactoring, since I don’t want people to see the code in its current state).
