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Parts of these sites are quite out of date, because I have been a busy little bee.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

Alphabet Index on Top for Songbook

How about an A through Z index at the top of the Songbook page for greater ease of use? Right now the songs are arranged alphabetically, but the reader doesn't know what page letter T would be on, for example.

After seeing you refer to Wicked Girls a number of times (and figuring it wouldn't be my thing), I read the lyrics the other day, after you posted a link. Wow, was I ever wrong... Thanks!!! Is the Jane you refer to from Tarzan and Jane, or someone else?

Unfortunately, the code doesn't support adding that. You can, however, use the "search" function if you're looking for a specific song.

I'm very glad you liked "Wicked Girls." :) Because Jane hasn't got a verse, she can be any Jane you like; I know at least one person who envisions Jane from The Silver Metal Lover. But canonically, for me, she's Jane Banks from Mary Poppins.

That hadn't occurred to me. It makes a lot of sense, including that "Jane" is often used as a generic name (Jane Doe, for example), and so could be any girl.

I like it.
