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Parts of these sites are quite out of date, because I have been a busy little bee.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!

for the icons and wallpapers section for the mira grant page, the link on the sidebar for both icons and wallpapers links to exactly the same thing, which is the top of the page. it'll be great if it linked directly to the actual sections, thus removing the necessity of having to scroll down. that, or just changing the link on the sidebar to 'icons and wallpapers' instead of it being separate.

I can't link to sections in the menu bars, and I can't make it one long link without breaking the code. Sorry. This is not a fixable issue.

oops okay, then erm, perhaps some detail on the With Friends Like These page would be great? Currently it's just a whole lot of links and I didn't know they were a bunch of comics done by you until i clicked the links :) Thanks!

Sadly, again, no can do. The "Friends Like These..." page is a gallery listing, and doesn't allow for text bracketing. My website code is amazing, but can't do everything.

You still have a valid entry.
