Also, I was left trying to "relate" the images to the words ... I think traditionally, an image displayed alongside any paragraph of text is "assumed" to relate the text ... like an illustration. I think this adds a bit to the confusion. Does the image relate to the title or the author or the synopsis? ... my mind wanted to relate the image to something. And for that connection to be consistent. It may be a little much to expect that sort of consistency ... that is, for my users to always have an appropriate illustration to offer.

Sorry to offer "feedback" (criticism) without a suggestion of how I think it might be altered ... so, I'll "study on it", too.

BTW, I don't think any of us can tell you enough how much we appreciate your generosity and support. This hack is terrific! Thanks.

Hey Spence, thanks for the input.
I agree that the symmetry of the images can throw the eye off a bit. Sadly I dont really have much of a solution there (unless they were floated in some type of fixed border frame or something).
As for the images relating to the text - blame it on the author I threw those up to test though I actually thought they were semi relevant.

99% of the code is done for the next version. Ill start the upgrader and installer late today and something may be ready as early as wed or thur.
