I’ve added random quote functionality to the sidebar, and so far I’ve just fed in something like 30 choice Bertrand Russell quotes. I haven’t decided yet whether or not I intend to add other authors, or just keep deepening the Russell quote collection. You’ll see it at the top of the sidebar.
You will also see a new entry in the “Pages” menu, for a page that contains the full set of quotations used to seed the random quote feature–just in case you’re interested. The page is created dynamically, so as I add more quotations, the contents of the page will be automatically updated.
I’ve also added a bunch more author blogs (mostly F/SF authors) to my aggregator, and I’ve updated the list kept on this site.
That means you might see blogs from any of the following authors popping up in the random five author blogs at the right, in addition to all the others that were already in the mix:
- Nick Sagan
- Gregory Benford
- Alex Irvine
- Walter Jon Williams
- Pamela Dean
- Naomi Novik
- Liz Williams
- Poppy Z. Brite
- GRRM
- Matthew Woodring Stover
- John C. Wright
Those are links to the homepages, not to the blogs, btw.
I am always looking for links to author blogs for authors that I’m interested in–suggestions are welcome. At this point I’m thinking that I need to do some digging into the question of whether there are a LOT more sf/f authors who blog than mystery authors, or if it’s just that I don’t have the info on the mystery writer blogs…
