Default New Blog on Rare Book Collecting, Buying, and Selling

Please take a few moments and review our new blog. It's about buying, selling, and collecting rare books. Blogging regularly is starting to turn into a habit and I try to post at least several times a week. The blog itself has been up about 2-3 weeks now.

Here is the blog:
Book Collecting, Book Investing, Articles, News, and Information

I would appreciate any constructive advice, good or bad. Thanks in advance.



PS. The Wordpress theme is Fresh News, by "Woo" themes

I love your blog! Good layout, and great content! I read your article on The Great Gatsby, which just happens to be my favorite book , and I think it's wonderful! The only thing I'd suggest is when you're writing about the historical information and such, add links to the things you're talking about. For instance, when you say:

It was also a period of great social upheaval. In November 1920, women had been granted the right to vote (see History of women’s suffrage in the United States), alcohol had been prohibited by a constitutional amendment (see Prohibition in the United States),

you might want to think about linking readers to Wiki or something. I'd use the target="_blank" code so you don't send readers away from your site, but you should definitely have a way to inform readers about the subjects you're speaking of, since you're loading them with information.

I love the site. Great job.

Very fine looking site. Striking, lots of interesting content, and very well designed.

The only small thing I noticed is that the boxes for the post summaries on the home page are all slightly different heights .. which looks a bit strange. Might be neater if they're all the same size.

Best of luck with this.
