The Blogroll is now in three parts. The main part is arranged according to the date the blog was last updated with the most recent first. Many blogs use the BDSMLR platform which does not include date information; they are in a separate Blogroll arranged alphabetically but I check from time to time and remove any that have been permanently closed. The final part is a list of interesting Twitter feeds - again in alphabetical order.

New e-book
If you want to make a start on your Christmas shopping, can I just mention this timely purchase...
Hi James, I would love to be able to read this "free" book, but it is only available in Australia either as a book costing $4.25 or from Kindle unlimited at a cost of $13.99 per month.....not exactly free
Hi Downunder Dom I only write these and it's LSF who are handling all the publication side so I really don't know fully how it works. However, I never suggested that it was free (in fact, I did say 'purchase'). I just used my VPN to "virtually" move to Australia and login into Amazon over there and it looks to me as if it's a similar setup to what we have in the UK - Amazon Prime members can "loan" it to their e-reader for free, and anyone can get an e-copy to keep for 3.26AUD. In the UK the same applies for free loans in Amazon Prime, and the purchase price is 2.39 GBP (approx 4.15AUD) - perhaps because of different taxes.
I think I might buy it. LSF is a free access site with loads of stuff on it, including two of mine. These compilations are sold to help towards the costs of keeping the site going, so I look upon them as supporting a 'good cause'.
