Site update

A new version of Codexmap went live this afternoon. You can now create an account, and create your own library of books, so you can easily come back to them later. If you are looking at a book on the book page, you'll see the "Add to My Books" link (unless it's already in your library, in which case you'll see "Delete from My Books". If you are on the main map page, the "My Books" link will switch CodexMap to only show your books (and only the Locations associated with your books, and the map icons for your books, etc.). You can now add books manually by Title/Author - previously ISBNs were required, and those ISBNs had to be in Amazon's catalog or you could not add them (Thanks for the comments Hillie!). In the future I hope to make the process of adding books more functional and less cumbersome.

Some number of bugs/glitches/browser incompatibilities have been fixed, and the view selection for locations has been improved, in particular a better automatic selection of view scale.

And, the site now links to this blog - feel free to leave messages, comments and the like here.

CodexMap is live!

CodexMap was born from a desire to help people explore the world of books, and to explore the world through books. We all know the perennial problem of finding something interesting to read, and I hope you find something intriguing here.

If by chance you made it to this blog without first going to CodexMap proper, you can find it here: http://www.codexmap.com. And (somewhat) detailed help is here: http://www.codexmap.com/help.php

I'll post more later. In the meantime, feel free to leave comments or questions here, or contact us at info@codexmap.com.
