A Brief Note on Migrating Reviews

Monster Librarian has been active since 2006. Until April 0f 2014, when our founder, Dylan, suddenly died, reviews for the site were posted and indexed on our static site. After that, we started posting reviews here on the blog. There are therefore eight years’ worth of reviews on the static site. I can’t take it down but when people search for Monster Librarian, that’s where it takes them– to a webpage designed fourteen years ago that was last updated 4 1/2 years ago. Why not just migrate the content, you ask? Well, Dylan wrote the code in FrontPage, an editor that no longer exists and is not supported by, well, anyone.  It therefore has to be manually cut and pasted from the static site to this blog. What this means is you are likely to see reviews here of many older books over the next several months (at least) in addition to more current titles. I’m not going to re-edit them, so they may make some dated references. Once this is all completed, though, everything will be searchable from one place, which is great for people interested in backlist titles as well as what’s up this year. Yay!

 

Reading Bites editor Michele Lee has been migrating YA content in the same way for quite some time, in addition to her more current content. Just because they’re older, doesn’t mean they’re not worthwhile. I encourage you to visit and see what she has up right now.
