More updates
I'm busy working on this site as much as I can, and the next raft of updates have been made! They include: - linking to any cover directly by simply adding the ASIN id for the book to the end of the Judge URL (e.g. http://judgeabookbyitscover.co.uk.web6.reliabledomainspace.com/books/judge/0099457164. Either use the "Link to this cover" link next to each cover, or hunt out the ASIN in the source code. I haven't yet written a search feature but rest assured I'll be working on it soon!
- Another way to get direct links to covers is to send them to a friend, and a link to do this is beside each cover now too!
- The widget on the "On your site" page now accepts an ASIN id, which lets you put a particular cover on your web site for users to judge.
- I've also updated the new covers feed to allow you to judge the new covers directly, no waiting for them to randomly show up now!
Hope this round of updates keeps you going, please keep providing feedback, and keep judging!

It's worth noting that the ASIN used in the widget only works if the cover is already in your database. Obvious really, but you don't specifically say that anywhere - unless I've not read the instructions properly! (Also, the current message says that it's no longer available if I use my own ASIN, but that's not strictly true.)
It would be better if you had a simple search function available when creating the widget so that I can select a cover from your database rather than having to find and paste the ASIN manually.
Also, when creating a Head to Head widget, I should be allowed to enter/select two (different) ASINs.

All in good time, I'm constantly working on it!
As for the search as I said I haven't yet written a search feature but rest assured I'll be working on it soon!
