Pimp my website, win an ARC!

So here's the deal. I have two websites, and I maintain them both myself, manually. That means nothing changes unless I go in and change it. The sites are here:

http://www.seananmcguire.com/
http://miragrant.com/

Parts of these sites are quite out of date, because I have been a busy little bee. We are thus going to play a little game.

Step 1: Go to my website. Either one.
Step 2: Poke around until you see something that could use improvement. A typo, a missing link, an unclear question on the FAQ, even a missing question on the FAQ. (Pages that aren't linked at all, like the Field Guide, or don't exist, don't count. Those are future improvements, not current issues.
Step 3: Post here, suggesting a correction/update.
Step 4: Step away from the website.

I will be making updates and corrections, partially based on this post, for the next week. On Friday, I will use our friend, random number generator, to choose a winner of an ARC of One Salt Sea (US-only, unless you can help with postage). No matter what, everybody benefits, since the end result should be an easier-to-use website.

Game on!

I don't know if this counts, but on the main Mira Grant page the Deadline image looks like it should click through to something (arrow turns into clicky thing, etc.) but nothing happens when I click it. Oh, although now I guess that's probably because the Deadline subpage hasn't been added yet?

Also, on the Toby Daye FAQ, under "Which books are currently available?" it doesn't mention or link to Late Eclipses, though the question right above it does.

Mostly I just wanted to point out that I am always baffled that super busy writer + rabidly obsessive fanbase does not = team of interns to do this sort of stuff. I guess crowdsourcing works too, but...

Thank you!

In this case, it's super busy writer + rabidly obsessive fanbase + trying to maintain website security. I'm finally hiring a staff!
