Re: On the database

Thanks! I also have a lot of fun to read the comics again, this time paying attention to all the little details, and I notice new things I missed with the first reading. The only disadvantage is that it's in the site's nature that it'll only grow slowly (I think if I even manage five to ten a week on a regular basis it's an *optimistic* estimate), because to enter all this takes some time for each comic, so it will be a while until it's comprehensive, and I think the progression towards usefulness will be gradual. I hope that once I made a good start, with maybe the Nightwing and Gotham Knights series, and the site has grown big enough to merit some attention, I might even find other fans who'd volunteer to catalog Batverse comics in a similar fashion, using the same template and categories, so that the site can grow quicker. Movable Type allows me to give author accounts to others, so that they can enter data too, without them having too much power over the whole blog. So at least the possibility to transform it into a group effort some day (if it works out) is there without having to move the whole thing to a different system.

Also a good side effect is that this way I'll reread all the comics at least once which will (I seriously hope) slow down my urges to buy new ones to a pace more agreeable with my finances. *grin*
