Site Expanded to 2,800 Literature Titles

By , August 2, 2011

I’ve just finished the latest update cycle for LessonIndex.com, with resources now listed for nearly 800 additional literature titles, for a  new total of more than 2,800 literary works covered.  (This follows last month’s updates which doubled the number of resources linked for most titles.)

I’ve also modified the appearance of directory pages by adding a navigation/summary menu to the left margin.

Also, books which were finalists or winners of the Newberry Award are identified as such (usually this is the final item on the page).

Updates to LessonIndex.com

By , May 26, 2011

I’m currently uploading new versions of nearly all pages at LessonIndex.com. This is the first major update since February.

I’ve added many links to new resources, and I’ve also removed several hundred “stale links” to resources that have simply disappeared (mostly lesson plans which have vanished from school and college web sites).

The most visible change: I removed the Amazon “skyscraper banner ad,” which visitors rarely clicked.
