Yes, I updated the layout. AND made a website

So, I got tired of the issues with the layout I was using. It was always in 'preview' mode and would horribly distort any images I loaded up. Also I wanted to add links for books. And I wanted something with a link that I could click on to make updates.

So I went with the very old 'original' style for blogger. It may be old, it may be plain, but it does what I need it to do, and very easily as well.

I was also in the grip of waaaaay too much caffeine and chocolate, so I updated and linked to the webpage for me and my books. There may have been a little alcohol involved too, I should probably go back and read what I put there at some point.

I am also thinking of adding some notes about the stories to the webpage, why certain groups are called what they are, what their names mean, maybe a little background on some of the past events in the world. Mostly because I read a very funny 'bad' review where the guy writing it really went off the rails on a number of things in the story. And while I suspect he's probably the only one making these strange connections, I'm thinking that maybe I should put up a little history to clarify a few things.

See, I know the story and I know all the history. I've got a couple of files full of notes. As well as a few pages in a notebook. Over the course of the story I try to bring that stuff out, but not everything gets brought out, and honestly I don't always recall what's been mentioned, and what hasn't. Also a character's recalled views on something may be a bit skewed by their own involvement.

There really is a lot more going on in the story than was first hinted at in the opening book. And some of those things are going to start peeking out as time goes on. You learn a few things at the end of book two that you didn't realize, and the end of book three gives you a few more. That's part of why I may move to a 4 week release schedule here after a few more books, instead of the 3 week schedule I've been using. The story is getting more involved, and yes, the books are slowly getting longer as well. Right now book four is kicking my butt and I really need to get back to work on it, and stop avoiding it by posting here :-p

Thanks all!
