I'm going to be continually updating this post with answers to everyone's questions.
Who designed this site? I did, using a starter template from blogger. It's not great, but I did it myself, so I'm proud. :)
How often do you update the novel? Every thursday.
Can I sign up for e-mail alerts? Not yet, but I plan to make these avaliable soon.
Why do you have navigation links at the top and bottom of your page? Practicality. Image maps, especially those made with CSS, can be difficult - IE, sometimes they malfunction or stop working, or in some browsers they don't work. Therefore, it's standard, at least when I learned to design websites in school, to include a back-up set of links at the bottom of the page. That way, if the above image-map link navigation doesn't work, there's always an alternative.
