Site Redesign
As you may notice, Digigirl’s Library has undergone a fair amount of change. The previous setup, while very full-featured, proved to be just waaaayy too much work to maintain. Every title had to be entered manually, every author, every cover image, etc. It was just more than I could manage and so the site suffered from inattention.
So, I’ve simplified. Now, the only titles on the site are the ones featured in articles. I’m not going to try to keep up with every single new paranormal title that comes out (like I was before); just the ones that I review or feature.
The database that stored all that information also handled the user registrations. A lot of people registered – but hardly anyone used the site, with a few exceptions. So, I went ahead and removed the whole database script and am just sticking with Wordpress for now. Anyone is welcome to register as a user and add reviews, just like before. It’ll just be via Wordpress instead of the database script.
I hope you’ll find the new site simpler to navigate and easier to find what you’re looking for and will continue to visit, comment and add reviews!
Oh, and anyone can add a rating to a title – just click on the stars at the top of each title to add your rating! No registration required!

I was thinking that you had to be superwoman or something but I did love the site. I read a lot of paranormal romance and urban fantasy. Email me and let me know if I can still post reviews, how to etc. If you need that, that is. The new site looks great! Congrats
I know youre all over the internet, so I thought I’d ask you. I was telling a facebook friend (who asks my advice on books a lot) about your website and wondering if there is a way to put a small box for Digigirlslibrary.com on my facebook page or profile without just copying the url?
