KM.com Content Progress Report

It delights me no end to see that this Grand Undertaking is proceeding with such meticulous attention to detail and enthusiasm. Wonderful stuff so far, and if what you speak about here comes to pass, you and all involved will have pulled off something truly special.

I'm afraid to say that my update is embarrassingly small when compared to Keith's.
I've been fiddling around with the technical backend (obviously). I've also recently finished separating the pages of news articles into separate pages, in order to make them more parsable and easier to navigate.
I've also been trying to make the main page somewhat easier to navigate with respect to different categories.
There are a few more updates to come, thanks to Keith's work.
Yeah, my news is far less exciting

RE: Erin Geraghty
Hooray, this long-standing error (Erin Geraghty = Mistress Goody) has at last been corrected in the Series 4 section of the website! Top marks to whoever did that, it's needed doing for yonks!
I think I'm guilty of fixing this.
With respect, I think you're not. This is one of a handful of 'yonks overdue' errors and omissions that I have dismissed from the website, including the lack of a credit for Bryan McNerney, the stocks/pillory muddle, and several references to 'Ariadne's layer'. Most aren't worth mentioning, and I'd hoped not to get caught up doing any trumpet blowing - toots can be problematic in some contexts - but felt I should pipe up briefly. Keith and Alan have done a tremendous amount for the new Knightmare.com (with more surely to come) but not quite every deed is theirs. Pedantry will so often find a way.
Since the subjects are open: for those wanting to know more about Mistress Goody and Erin Geraghty, and indeed Bryan McNerney and the pillory, there are entries for each in the Lexicon.

Well, I'm glad I said think, at least, and there's no doubt that I'm guilty of stepping in something there - the excrement from one's humble pie.
The good David (Drassil), it must be applauded, has done some wonderful research to turn Knightmare minutiae into valuable Knightmare memorandum. [The Bryan McNerney discovery is the most vivid]. I would never aim to take any credit for that. It's merely that I've spent a long time making hundreds of textual changes (to pages which will always remain credited to Nic), and just assumed that I might have applied the knowledge gained from others in this transfer process. I bow in deference, and should this be pedantry, please show me an army.
There are small content updates to report here. There would be more if not for problems uploading material to the site at the moment. But is it worth listing if this is regarded as trumpet-blowing? I've never been a brass-player...

Knightmare.com, like any KM fan project and indeed the Greater Game itself, is a team effort, with individual contributions occasionally coming to the fore. As only a very small proportion of Knightmare.com's housekeeping has been done by me, I don't mind it being attributed to the team in general - but wouldn't want it attributed to or claimed by another person, however innocently or tentatively.
As for trumpet blowing, I didn't mean to sound pejorative about the Content Progress Reports posted here, just to imply that to post my own would not feel worthwhile. As mentioned, I've not done a huge amount; and besides, my (user)name is in enough places already.

Then it's Time for a Link.

Having said that, I've never seen the downside in moar cowbell.
