Welcome to The Monthly Chapter for November 2024!
It has been a while since I have done a Monthly Chapter here and normally I would have done this on the first or second of the month. I thought about just not doing it at all but I wanted to discuss some of the changes going on here as well as a few other things. Not to mention I wanted to do a giveaway and fingers crossed I will be doing more of those here in December.
Changes Abound
You may have noticed that the look of things have changed here. While, yes I adjusted the format, the color, and, the look of things there are so many more of those changes happening behind the scenes. Changes that are going to take me a few months to get completed. This is actually part of a larger goal that I have for both here and at Rita Reviews. Although those changes haven’t happened over there yet and may not until the beginning of the new year to allow me to get things done here.
One of the biggest things will be all of the images will finally be fixed. This is something I have been trying to do for a couple of years but then put off because it seems unimportant in the grand scheme of things. Well, this new format means there are so many duplicate images and broken images that I am having to go back through each and every post, delete all the images found for that post, and upload new current ones.
It is time consuming and I my current plan is to do a page a day. That will allow me to get it done and still do other work. There are, as of this posting, 88 pages so that will take a little bit of work. Any new posts are the current sizes and the way they need to be. I am also working on updating all authors listed as well. I want to be sure everything is up to date and current. That also includes any links, if they are broken I will be fixing them.
Celebrate When Done
We will certainly celebrate with a giveaway when I finally get all of that completed. I am unsure what kind at this point in time but it will happen. I want to celebrate more here and I have felt like I have let this poor blog far by the wayside more and more over the last year.
The Monthly Chapter
The Monthly Chapter will be changing a bit in the new year. It is just time for it to get an update and to make a few adjustments. Nothing major, just things that need to be done. Also you will notice that this month and next month won’t really have book recommendations or even my reading this month sections. I am keeping it simple to give you some updates and the giveaways.
