A new text editor! Bookhooks
has been well served by the CFEDIT text editor over the past 10 years.
However, the older technology was starting to see glitches in various
browsers, requiring some visitors to use a simple text editor window.
I have now installed the fabulous CKEditor,
a robust and full featured text editor. I'll be customizing the toolbars
in the near future. Enjoy new features like pasting reports in from Word
and spellchecking as you type!
 Now
there's a poetic idea! Students at Neeskara School in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin use Bookhooks.com to write a review of their favourite poems!
If the poem is in the public domain, you can even cut and paste the poem
into your report and share your love of verse!
Now you can tell us how you feel after reading
that book! Did the book inspire you? Make you sad? Curious?
Let us know in your report using the drop down menu on the Report Writing
screen.
Add a bio! When you browse selected
Bookhooks authors, you will see the author's biography above the list
of reports by that author (on browse/search pages.) Even better, you can
contribute a biography of your favourite author.
