There are times that you wish to make changes that should be transparent to the user (or reader) of a site. The problem is that, when you succeed, the result is an anticlimactic feeling, because nobody notices a thing.

Yes, oxymoronic, I know.

It took me a while to set up the booklist in the left sidebar. It involved a lot of busywork to create, and then endless additional work to maintain.

Then came MediaManager which promised to remove the drudgery. Except I couldn't get it to work the way I wanted it to as far as the booklists were concerned, although I have been using it to add the images and links to reviews for a while now.

Then came the latest version, along with some support from the magnificent Byrne Reese, the creator of MediaManager, et voila a functioning, automatically updating booklist.

If you're using Movable Type, don't delay - get yourself plugged in!
