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Parts of these sites are quite out of date, because I have been a busy little bee.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

On Mira Grant's website there should be a place with listings of short stories, like Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box...and don't you have another short story about the rising published in an anthology? Everglades, or something? Or am I being forgetful?

Anyways, "The Box" is great, and I think people ought to have the opportunity to click through and get it right away for whatever ereader they use. I know that you've got the link to your main bibilography page (which lists stories by both Seanan and Mira) in your bio, but maybe you could put a link like that on the Books page as well? That's where I'd look for more short stories by Mira Grant, if I wanted them.

"Everglades" is about the Rising. Honestly, I've considered this, and I just can't. I can't maintain two bibliographies, I can barely maintain two websites. The idea makes me dizzy. So for now, I'll have to settle for the link back to my main bibliography from the "bio" page.

So that's what its called. I seemed to recall there was another short story that related to the Newsflash series but when I didn't see it listed in the books section on the Mira Grant website I assumed I was mistaken.
