I've officially put the first article in the database for the website! It's written by someone else and over 10 years old, but still hopefully a useful resource for Tolkien collectors.
Tolkien Fannish and Scholarly Activities and Publications for 1993
written by Sumner Hunnewell
I hope to re-factor the article into sub-pages that will make it a bit less overwhelming soon.

I'm in the process of adding all of the Sideshow Weta collectibles to the online database, and ran across the first licensed piece of art (to my knowledge) from Virginia Lee, daughter of Alan Lee. Just an interesting tidbit I wanted to share to those of you who are interested - and yes, I know you all only collect books and calendars 
(at least those of you who post to the forums so far). Hoping to expand our readership through useful data in the Guide... including the long promised American bibliography.
You can find her in the Articles (soon to be renamed Guide) menu (art/sculptures/...) or by using the search function in the upper right corner. Everything appears to be searchable correctly now!

Thanks Beren! It's been quiet around here recently (at least all you guys, I've been cranking away) the feedback is nice.
I've put up the Wrebbit puzzles in a new Puzzles section (not sure if puzzles qualify as games, but hey, it's my site). Wrebbit makes two kinds of puzzles - Perfalock puzzles are very well cut and foam backed, so they can be picked up, hung from a wall, or flexed without falling apart. The images they chose are a bit simple (just PJ movie posters basically). But, they also make Puzz 3D puzzles. Fully illustrated three dimensional buildings, these look awesome, are quite large, and a lot of fun to put together. Too bad they only made four.

Tons of fanzine section updates. Too many to list at the moment, but got the contents of I Palantir up, a bunch of smaller newsletters added, etc.
Added avatars for the discussion boards. Click on View Account on the left bar near the bottom, then click on the avatars button near the top, and upload your image (80x80 pixels).
Put a few shortcuts in the domain for the guide. So far,
http://fanzines.tolkienguide.com
http://books.tolkienguide.com
http://calendars.tolkienguide.com
are active. Just poking around to see if people find these useful.
Added a chat module, if you want to talk to me or others while I am online (you can see who is online in the left column if you are logged in). Chat module. Send me a private message if you want to chat and I am not in there. Just testing this out, usually there aren't too many of us online at the same time.
