We have been thinking for a while that such a number of Web-browsing options requires better organization than we’ve given them in the past. So we have reorganized The Rap Sheet’s blogroll, breaking the “General” category into three parts:• Those sites/blogs that change most frequently, and to which we most often refer during the week, can still to be found under the “General” heading.
• Print magazine-associated sites and Webzines that update on a monthly basis (or even less frequently than that) are now featured under the “Periodicals” heading.
• And valuable (but largely fixed) online resources for people interested in learning more about crime, mystery, and thriller fiction are now categorized under “About the Genre.”
We’ve also added a short list of “Online Discussion Groups,” and have moved the “Flash Fiction” section directly beneath “Periodicals.” In addition, several new blogs have been tossed into the mix: I Read, Therefore I Am; Nearly Nothing But Novels; Nobody Move!; Patti Abbott’s interesting Pattinase blog (which we’d somehow neglected to include before); and The Lineup, associated with an upcoming chapbook of crime-related poetry of that same name. Other categories remain the same as before.
In the course of rejiggering these links, we couldn’t help but notice that several sites/blogs seem to be falling behind, their authors having failed to put up anything new within recent weeks--which is too bad, since we like them all: Bang!, Bookflings, Jim Huang’s Blog, Main Title Heaven (Lee Goldberg’s fascinating site featuring a growing collection of old TV title sequences), NoirBlog, and Vintage Hardboiled Reads (August West’s blog about classic crime novels, which after a rousing start, has suddenly fallen into stasis). We’ve got our fingers crossed for new content soon.
Let us know if you have any comments on this page’s reorganization.
