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Parts of these sites are quite out of date, because I have been a busy little bee.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

So I poked around and the only other thing I could find was that the Reviews on "One Salt Sea" are the exact same reviews as "Late Eclipses". I'm assuming One Salt Sea hasn't been heavily reviewed... So unless you're obsessively anal (and here I poke the bear) you could leave it that way until you get reviews. Or go in and leave it blank until you harvest some tasty blurbs. ;)

Hee. Good catch, but since the One Salt Sea page just went live, it has some placeholder data on it still.

I sortof figured that was the case. Cloning pages is the best way to get things out quickly.
And I know it doesn't make you any less anal. ;)
