DA GLITCH!!!

's gallery & stats were missing for a week - they are finally back, but the last image he posted is missing from his gallery. DA states they are aware of the problem, but it's very frustrating that he lost a week's worth of image views (because no one could find his gallery) and now he may have to re-post this image if they cannot locate it:
You can see it here, but not in his gallery!!
SCAVENGER & RESEARCH CONTEST!!!

I need assistance, so I have decided to make this a contest for my Watchers.
Here is what I am seeking and the rules:
With the new versions of my series, The Circle of Friends, coming out next year and concluding in 2010, I need to begin targeting websites of interest and start building buzz. I already have a large list of websites and blogs, but need as many as possible to market effectively. I need:

Websites targeting teens and young adults.

Websites/Blogs that review YA fiction.

Websites catering to conservative parents.

These sites must be able to either review books; feature author interviews; offer free downloads or links to items that interest the sites readers; etc. Also must be sites that actually receive a good batch of visitors every month. Can be sites with forums, but I must be able to participate (no sites with teen-participation only.)

Sites that focus on positive, inspirational or uplifting are a bonus!

Basically, sites that are visited by teens who would enjoy reading an inspirational series or visited by adults who would be delighted by the non-salacious slant of my books.

Dancing Lemur Press L.L.C. www.dancinglemurpress.com
Yes, I already have a MySpace and a FaceBook, and I also have sites such as TeensReadToo and YABooksCenteral marked and/or are on them.

Prizes

A three-month subscription to whoever finds the most viable sites!
A feature here in the journal for that person and anyone who finds ten or more sites!
Send a NOTE titled contest with a link to each site you have discovered.
Contest runs from now until September 28th.
I will keep a running tab here in the journal and post icon and # of sites found for each entrant. You can continue to send sites after the initial Note and they will be added to the tally!

Thanks and happy hunting!

Diane Wolfe is a gifted writer who leaves her appreciative readers looking eagerly toward her next novel… “Mike" is a superbly crafted story of young adult angst, as well as a thoroughly entertaining read. Also very highly recommended are the three early volumes in this outstanding series: "Lori"; "Sarah"; and "James". - Midwest Book Reviews

If you're organising events (book signings and etc.) pownce.com is worth a look. There's Xanga of course ... and the only other thing I can think of is flip ... but unless you plan to make advertising/inspirational scrapbooks/flipbooks online that's no good.
Will let you know if anything else jumps out.
And I do have a list of over 150 sites, many of whom I've already touched base with and/or done features, interviews, etc.
But I will add that one to the list! (Already on BookTour.com, too.)
Just trying to add more - I have six months left before the first release and lots to do!
