I did a search on Google for Shelagh Watkins an the second page listed was Shelaghwatkins/forum.html. I didn't remeber loading a page titled "forum" so I checked my uploaded files. No forum.html. I did find this page that I'd forgotten about:

It's so old, all the images for the books now have new file names and don't load but the snapshot I took shows my book listed #1 out of 951 books. The book has dropped to goodness knows what but it did give me a buzz at the time!

This seems a far greater achievement because the ebooks are from all the major publishers. Or am I fooling myself as usual?
