I'm going to try to add the covers. Maybe it will work."Hey, Nicki - to add the covers, click on the link above the new comment box that says "add book/author" and then click on the little bubble at the bottom that says "cover." Then type in the name of the book you're looking for and when you find it, click "add." All the covers will be at the bottom of the comment box then.
Also, when you're updating your stats, could you please list the number you've finished such as 4/20 or whatever the number finished is? It saves me a lot of time that way.
Sure. I've already edited the stats. Meant to do that the first time.
When updating how do I copy the covers and the updates (strike outs, etc.)? If I just copy the last update it just shows plain text and I have to redo everything! I think I'm missing something.
When updating how do I copy the covers and the updates (strike outs, etc.)? If I just copy the last update it just shows plain text and I have to redo everything! I think I'm missing something.
Click on the little "edit" link that you see under your own post. That will open the box and then just copy everything in the box, then click "cancel edit" and then paste everything into a new box. It will bring all the correct book coding with it.
December 21, 2010 to March 20, 2011Since the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful and since there's no place to go, I will read, I will read, I will read!
