Nathan: I know you’re going to want to smack me in the head for this, but is there any possibility that you could maybe put 1-2 words of the book’s title in the URL?
IOW, if I’m working my way through the comments (since, cough cough, we still don’t have text-color-changing to indicate what links we’ve visited and which we haven’t, on this “visit”), I see in the comments list, something like “Marc on A Bargain Made.” But I can’t instantly tell if that’s where I am or not, without scrolling up, looking at the cover, etc. IF the URL in the nav bar said even “A Bargain” or “Bargain_made” or the like…then we’d all know where we are.

Isn’t the book title displayed in the browser title bar? Mine says “A Bargain Made – Lousy Book Covers – Chromium”. It magically changes, too, with each lousy.
Ugh, editing doesn’t like me. PLUS, I’m trying to tell where I’ve been, as much as what post it is. It’s a nav thing, more than “just” what cover is this?
Yeah, I did mean the URL bar, rather than the tab (I frequently have tabs stacked so tight that I can’t read them) but when you’re right, you’re right.

the cover in no way prepares you for the horror of the contents
I keep thinking that the title is “A BARGAIN TIRADE.” Not quite sure why, but beyond the terminally-boring imagery, that text is bloody hard to read and impossible to read at thumbnail size.
This seems familiar. Was this author’s work featured before?
I definitely think so.

Just a thought. Don’t beat me.
Well, I just tried one of the easy ways to switch the permalinks, and it broke the site, so it’s going to be easy…
I wuv the red links, thanks. Truly.

Nope. Mine (browser addy) says, for example, for this post:

That’s it. On the TAB, yes, sometimes.

Here’s what I see…
