I'd like a few changes.

As a writer, what *I* want to see is:

1. HTML formatting in the stories. I want
to see my boldface, italics, whatever.
That's part of the presentation.

2. Hitcount per story.

3. Reviews attached directly to each story
and an average review and total review
count posted up there right next to the
story title, where the (prospective)
reader can see it when she's wondering
whether to look closer at my piece.
You know -- just like Amazon does it.

Items 2 and 3 are the only way better works
can gradually distinguish themselves from
lesser works. This is how you implement
ompetition and natural selection.

*And* -- they're my only form of payment.
I don't mind not getting the dollars. But
don't be fooling with my hitcount.

Hi Michael

I've fixed the HTML formatting, sorry about that, you are of course quite right, it's part of the presentation.

I will also look into implementing a hitcount and reviews attached to the stories, both great ideas. I'm just not quite sure how to "technically" do this, but I'll try to figure something out. It might take a while, but this is definitely near the top of the list of new things to add.

Yikes! You really did it! Thanks very
much for the HTML. This is a terrific
improvement.
