Complete Locus Poll Results

http://www.sfadb.com/Locus_Awards_2014.

500 new and updated pages.

However there are so many pages for an annual Locus Poll update, including the All Nominees page, which even as a text file, is over 2mb, that updates for this award/poll have crashed my FTP program three times this evening before completing what I hope is a full upload of all 500 files.

Though now I see that the All Nominees page, http://www.sfadb.com/Locus_Awards_All_Nominees, has some formatting error that wrecks the top and bottom graphics. Will have to figure this out. Why this one page? The other pages look OK. Sigh.

Update Friday morning: The problem on the page was a broken link under Amano, Yoshitaka, on the last line for 2000, a reference to a title done with Neil Gaiman. Fixed now, the byline shows “illustrated by YA”, as intended. The page last night had the first part of an a href link, without the closing part, and that somehow broke the layout of the whole page (maybe the browser thought a div tag was being closed there).

What happened is that in May I added code for formatting such references to handle bylines like “Racconna Sheldon, aka James Tiptree, Jr.” The code checked for “aka” and built the reference accordingly. Oops. Last night the code found the “aka” in Yoshitaka, parsed the byline accordingly, and applied the resultant formatting.

Now the code checks for ” aka “. And parses and applies formatting accordingly.
