indeed I remember Oxfam shop... I managed to buy some Tolkien letters and some signed Tolkien books (like a 1st edition hobbit) there back in 1992 (or 1991 - i'm not really sure). You can imagine my amazement to find these items up for sale in an Oxfam store. Crazy? Yes! But true!

I build myself a little script (i did some php coding myself) and so I have a headlines page, a news page and i can go in a backhand to add and delete news, then i wrote a php file which builds the rss feed. It is ofcourse a little bit of amateur scripting, but if you wish I can send the files to you to see if you can do something with it...
By the way, very nice page... the headlines all together (over here at TCG). How can i surf to it from the main page?

Hi there,
I use WordPress http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ It's free, and has minimal system requirements. Depends on who your host is, quite a few out there already have it installed (or at least the tools you need for it.) I think you can also include a Blogger or similar blog on your website, but I haven't experimented with that (so the browser would still be pointing at tolkienbooks.net, but the blog content would be coming from blogger.com) Hope this helps...

I have been toying with the idea of using a blog as a method of publishing updates to TolkienBooks.net - and of producing a proper RSS feed. Any suggestions for a free or cheap (~$50) script? I am looking for something that I can incorporate into my site rather than a page on one of the big 'social networks'.

It has been about 3 years since I did the bookshops in Oxford, but hopefully the following shops will still be there:
Oxfam Bookshop - on St. Giles - just down the road from the Bird and Baby. There is a bookshop on Walton Street but I can't remember its name - about 10-15 minutes walk from Oxfam. Blackwells - on Broad Steet - the main shop (next to the New Bodleian Library) has a great antiquarian/collectable section. There are two shops at the Magdalen Bridge end of High Street, one of which is at the back of an antiques shop. There is a paperback shop in the Covered Market and branches of Waterstones and Borders in the middle of town. The Oxonmoot info booklet should include a map, but in the meantime you could try Multimap. Hope this helps.
