Goodreads Solved

 

When things go wrong, it's part and parcel of growing old disgracefully to blame everyone and everything but yourself, and that includes your inability to fathom out the intricacies of websites.

Bearing that in mind, when I joined Goodreads about a year ago, and things began to go wrong from day one, I naturally blamed them. The site was complicated, there were missing links here there and everywhere, the font was too small for me to read, and even when it did work, it was only half-arsed. I even played hell with the GR CEO on a blog post the other day.

Then things changed.

I've mentioned Maureen Vincent-Northam before. This lady pokes her nose in all over the place, and as result, quite often saves my hide. She did it again yesterday, and after an exchange of emails, I now know what I'm doing with Goodreads. It wasn't the site to blame at all. It was the Gas Board. (Well you didn't imagine I was gonna take responsibility did you?)

As a result of Mo's intervention, all my fiction output, including my magnum opus The Filey Connection (plug, plug) is now on the Goodreads database.

And about bloody time, too

Everything is on there, including this blog, and the only outstanding problem is learning how to import videos to the site. But that'll have to wait until I've had words with the phone company. It must be their fault.
