The book review system is up and running! While there are still a few bugs to be worked out, all the functionality is there, so I decided to start it up. The "Top Rated Books" on the right side of the page is showing more than it's supposed to, so hopefully I can get that fixed before the database gets too big! Feel free to comment on any books already in the system, and add and review your own. You'll need to register an account first, so if you have any questions, let me know. I'm going to try to add a few reviews each day.
In related news, I was hoping to also add a beer and wine section to the reviews. There are a lot of wines that I like, but I can never remember them, and I know a lot of people have given me suggestions for beers to try, but again, I tend to forget. So the plan was to create a repository of beers and wines so visitors could add their own picks and see what others recommend. As or right now, I can't get that to work with the book review software (and I really don't want to pay the 80 dollars for the "upgraded" version), so I'm looking for a new solution, but it may be a while. But until then, add some books for me!

I found a component to put together a book review system. I'm still ironing all the details out of it, but I will hopefully be filling it soon. Anyone will be able to submit books and reviews as well, allowing it to be more interactive. More details soon!

I created two subdomains to ease navigation around the site. blog.michaelcrane.net and portfolio.michaelcrane.net will now take you directly to their respective sections.

A whole load of new weblinks have been added, including an entirely new category, Timed art. Feel free to check them out and let me know what you think. I'm still working on other updates, so expect them soon!

I put a new blue site skin up, a little more festive for the holiday season (complete with snow). It's been quite an ordeal making it, but now that I know how to do it, I'll be able to make more in the future fairly quickly, so look for more to come. I hope you like it!

I've added two new photo galleries: koinonia-3 and superbowl . The gallery from Koinonia 3 includes both the snowed in, canceled weekend on the mountain and the actual retreat the next year. The superbowl gallery are pictures from my double-decker party in Aurelius when the Steelers won Superbowl XL. None of the pictures were taken by me (thankfully I have friends with cameras), and I'm always looking for more pictures of the events, if you have any, let me know. I'm working on getting more photo galleries up, including pictures from Koinonia 4, hopefully I'll get to them soon!

A few changes around the site: - I took out the Community Builder modules, it was more than the site needed. I can easily impliment it again if needed in the future.
- The gallery has been updated. Now the smaller thumbnail pictures also serve as links to their larger counterparts. For whatever reason, the larger verions will not open properly in Internet Explorer. I've asked around and will hopefully find a fix for it. In the meantime though, they work fine in Firefox (and if you aren't using, suggest you check it out!). Update: I'm working with the developer to find a solution, things aren't working well in Firefox either. As I find out more, I'll keep you posted. Update 2: After some fiddling and lots of work with the developer, the phot galleries should now be working in both IE and Firefox!
- The comments decided to stop working (except the 'clear' button, that works fine), I'm looking into it! Edit: The comments are working again! If you have any questions, let me know, I'll be adding some documentation about the comments soon!
- I'm also asking around to find some sort of way to create a book database, that way we can all review various books and rate other's books which we've read.
