So far the biggest problem, first day here?  The site will not allow me to cut and paste content from my existing blog into this site.  Tried from a PC and from my Mac.  No go.  This is a problem, suggesting, among other things propritary issues, non-portability of content, and more.  NOT a good sign.  I've sent off a "help" request, so we'll see what if any response I get.  This an important capability for those of us who write and review elsewhere, even in a small way.  Hopefully the response won't be in either corporate or computer speak and the problem can be easily addressed, without, I might add, the user -- me in this instance -- being asked to modify my settings or any such nonsense.  Come on people, this should be simple.

So... I'm here.  We'll see if I stay.  As a bookseller in an Indendent Bookstore, I reluctantly cancelled my account with Goodreads the day of their obseqious press release announcing their absorption.  There I was "a librarian"; contributing "content" in the form of reviews, author biographies, pictures, etc.  I took as much with me as I could when I left.  Here's hoping this will be a new platform -- not just yet another tool for gathering me unto the cold bosom of the Bezoshemoth.  

As I said, we'll see.

Here's a link to my own books blog.
