I messed something up with the comment form earlier this week when I was converting my theme to a TwentyTen child theme. Attempting to submit a comment would give you a message about not having entered the required name and … Continue reading →

I’ve made a number of accessibility fixes to this site, following the distressing discovery that it was impossible to tab through the dropdown menu. This rendered the menu useless to keyboard users (which includes screenreader users). Ack! I quickly found … Continue reading →

Unveiling the New Power Girl Creative Team It’s official: the new writer is Judd Winick and cover and interior artist is Sami Basri. I really don’t know what to think about Winick. I’ve never read anything by him. I only … Continue reading →

I’ve installed a site plugin which enables you to click on an image and view the larger version in a popup. This is a JavaScript application known as Lightbox, which you’ve no doubt seen elsewhere. You can see it in … Continue reading →

On the Action Figures page it says “If you know of a figure I’ve missed or can fill in missing information, comment on this post.” Ironically comments were automatically turned off on the referenced post once it aged past a … Continue reading →

I have completely overhauled the Power Girl Comics page. (For comparison, here is the old version.) The new page foregoes listing Power Girl’s current and upcoming appearances – Grand Comicbook Database and Comic Book DB do a far better job … Continue reading →

Uploaded larger (1000x1500px) cover scans for the current series: Supergirl 00 Supergirl 01a/01b/2nd printing/3rd printing Supergirl 02a/02b Supergirl 03a Supergirl 04a/04b Supergirl 05a/05b/2nd printing Supergirl 06a/06b Supergirl 07–22 Supergirl 23a/23b Supergirl 24 Supergirl 26 Supergirl 33 Supergirl 34a Supergirl 34b … Continue reading →

I’ve turned off the setting that allows new user registrations due to the continued spam regs. The WordPress plugins for preventing spam regs just aren’t doing the job. WordPress really needs to fix this in its default installation.

I received a warning from the The Fanlistings Network for not updating the Supergirl Fanlisting in 2+ months, eek. No new members have applied in that time – probably should not have removed the link from the site menu! I’ve … Continue reading →

WORLD’S FINEST #1 Written by Sterling Gates Art by Julian Lopez Covers by Phil Noto After tracking down a threat to The Man of Steel – and all of Metropolis – Red Robin must team up with the new Kryptonian … Continue reading →

I have cleaned up this blog’s spam-filled database of registered users through the arduous process of checking each user’s email against the Stop Forum Spam database (in case you’re curious, I can’t see your passwords – they’re encoded by WordPress). … Continue reading →

I’ve converted the entire site to WordPress and updated the design with a customized template that’s close to the old design but a bit sleeker. I hope you like it! The WordPress conversion is primarily for my benefit, but one … Continue reading →

FLAC files are now available for the out of print SUPERGIRL OST.

I’ve added a few things to the site recently: A Google site search in the nav menu (the existing blog search is built into WordPress). The results page doesn’t match the site, but it’s free. Ah Google, will you ever … Continue reading →

I’ve switched over the website, blog, gallery, and fanlisting to maidofmight.net, and given the site a fresh new banner to herald the change. The front page has been rewritten a bit to eliminate the unnecessary explanation of the site sections, … Continue reading →

I’m thinking of moving this site from supergirl.astraldream.net to maidofmight.net (.com is taken). What do you think? Like it/hate it/don’t think it makes a difference? There would be no need to change links/bookmarks to the site because I would use … Continue reading →

I’ve finished upgrading the Coppermine and WordPress installations – all that work and not a thing looks different from the outside =) But wow, upgrading from WordPress 2.2.2 to 2.5.1. (eek!) makes for a huge difference on the administration side! … Continue reading →

Supergirl: Maid of Might has been offline for the past 2.5 days: I took the entire site down Tuesday evening when I discovered that it had been hacked so that all the HTML and PHP pages had been overwritten with … Continue reading →

So I was deleting spambot user registrations from the gallery last night, and I inadvertently deleted ALL registered users >_< It's way too easy if you ask me: one misplaced click and boom! The good news is that none of … Continue reading →

I just “approved” a bushel of new visitor submissions to the Gallery (mucho thanks to odditycollector/Karen!) and have noticed that BBCode links within comments don’t work when you’re viewing an album, only when you click on the individual image page. … Continue reading →

I ran the W3C link validator tonight and fixed a bunch of broken links here and there. Most significant are a number of Matrix issues and Supergirl Move OST downloads for Arrival on Earth*/Flying Ballet Chicago Lights*/Street Attack First Kiss*/The … Continue reading →

I’ve added MP3 downloads of the Supergirl Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to the Supergirl Movie Downloads. Before I had only Ogg files, which play in nearly any music player, but not all portable audio players (although there are downloadable updates … Continue reading →

I’ve added “Regular Reads” and “TV Viewing” to the blog sidebar to indicate which superhero comics and sci-fi/fantasy TV shows I’m currently following (I do watch other shows, like Corner Gas and The Colbert Report, but the bulk of my … Continue reading →

We’re up and running again, and I think everything transitioned over successfully. I still have to go thru the old blog entries and change the image links because I moved some directories around. I also took the opportunity of cutting … Continue reading →

I will be transferring the site over to another server tonight (if all goes well). I’ve had enough of the frequent, random downtimes of this and other sites I have housed on this server. I’ve got everything copied over but … Continue reading →

More Supergirl “screencaps” on the front page, because you can never have enough Supergirl. (Which ones? #3 on the left and #2, 4, 5 on the right. I was long overdue in adding the current Supergirl, and a shot of … Continue reading →

A visitor has sent me some torrents of Supergirl movie-related files, including scans of the official movie comic, Supergirl Storybook, MAD parody, TOPPS cards, and some images. These files can be downloaded from the movie downloads page.

Wow, um, yeah. It’s been a long time since the last on-topic post, huh? I’m not dead, just inundated with real-life stuff like work and getting the house ready to sell later this summer. I just can’t believe the last … Continue reading →

I’ve added a batch of new link buttons to the Supergirl Fanlisting (whose design sucks significantly less now). If you didn’t include your website URL when you joined, you can do so thru the Update Member Information form. I was … Continue reading →

I discovered today that my email address michelle AT michellebacon.net has not been working since end of December/beginning of January =( I’m so sorry! I really wasn’t ignoring you all. I feel like such a dope =P I had no … Continue reading →

If you’re wondering about the sudden batch of postings – yes, for me this is a lot – I’ve been digging about my half-started posts sitting in WordPress and actually publishing them. I’m really bad about getting an idea for … Continue reading →

I’ve been slowly adding Matrix-era issues for download to Comicbooks: Supergirl/Matrix, and I’m now complete. I kept getting distracted by reading them =) The issues for download come to about 500 MB in total. After reading everything up to the … Continue reading →

Some catching up on Supergirl guest appearances, upcoming and recent, and some that I missed altogether. Upcoming & Recent Dec 27/06: SUPERMAN/BATMAN #31 Feb 28/07: Justice #10 March 7/07: SUPERMAN/BATMAN #32 (Power Girl also guest-stars) March 21/07: The Brave and … Continue reading →

I’ve created a logo specially for the blog portion of this site. See? I’ve been wanting to integrate more images of classic Kara into the site, so I pulled out a graphic I had previously edited but never used from … Continue reading →

I have successfully transferred this domain from Registerfly.com (boo! hiss!) to mydomain.com so I’m very relieved. (Still having trouble with another domain, see previous entry.) I’ve added covers for the Justice League Unlimited comic issues that Kara In-Ze has appeared … Continue reading →

I found this terrific site called the Comic Books Archive which has downloads of many different DC comics from 1936-1980, including the entire run of Adventure Comics and the 1972-74 Supergirl series! So naturally I downloaded the Supergirl issues and … Continue reading →

Something happened with the fanlisting database and I appear to have lost records of all members who joined prior to October 15. There were also 5 or 6 members listed as “pending” that I’m sure I approved previously. I have … Continue reading →

I’ve added the covers and sale dates for Supergirl #14, Legion of Super-Heroes #27, and the second Supergirl TPB, which apparently is titled “Supergirl: Candor” (either a typo or a really lame pun referring to the Kandor arc) and reprints … Continue reading →

…is up in Supergirl Movie Downloads.

Added trailers, TV spots, storyboards to Supergirl Movie Downloads and links to interviews with the producer and director to Supergirl the Movie.

I’ve opened a section for media downloads from the 1984 movie. Currently there are music files from the soundtrack, scans from the DVD booklet, and scans from the Japanese Movie Program which I was lucky enough to find on Ebay … Continue reading →

I’ve changed the address of this blog to better reflect the fact that it really is a blog now, and not just an updates page. Unfortunately this is going to break some links to recent posts, but I figure it’s … Continue reading →

Testing out a blog style sidebar. Not sure if I’ll keep it, eats into the space for posts.

My “Supersuit” post has been linked on When Fangirls Attack (*squee!*) so I went back and fixed a bit of wording and also added a concluding statement to the final paragraph to finish off my thought (since I forgot to … Continue reading →

I’ve added three new Supergirl essays to my links list, and resorted the Essays category by date and the Comics Related category by alphabetical order because the links are just too diverse to put in any order. Secondly, I’ve added … Continue reading →

Added the cover for Supergirl #16 2nd Printing, courtesy of reader Charlie who sent it in. Thanks! I also managed to find a tiny picture of Legion #22. For some reason it’s not available on the DC Comics website (and … Continue reading →

I’ve installed WordPress on the site so now the news/updates page is comments-enabled. I thought it might be handy to be able to respond directly without having to e-mail or post in the guestbook, which has limited interactivity.

I filled in a bunch of missing covers on the Supergirl/Matrix Comicbooks page with links to The Grand Comicbook Database Project, and I updated the Supergirl/Kara II Comicbooks page with covers to Wonder Woman #222, Legion #23, Legion #24, and … Continue reading →

The Power Girl page is finally complete. I had very little interest in Power Girl before reading the POWER GIRL TPB and starting work on this page, and now I’m rather a fan =)

I’ve revised the Costumes section and added two pictures of the Linda Danvers/Superwoman uniform from Supergirl #79-80. Rearranged the menu a bit (with a place holder for my still-in-progress Power Girl profile – I’m waiting for Justice Society Vol. 1). … Continue reading →

I created a couple new link buttons and placed them on the front page.

I’ve fixed the link to Women in Refrigerators on the Links page. What, you say, the link wasn’t broken? Well, I’d noticed some time ago that two of the main pages on that site (Respondent List and Reactions) were suddenly … Continue reading →

Fixed a few broken links, mostly covers, as well as the Supergirl movie trailer and script on the Supergirl the Movie page.

I’m proud to announce that I’ve been approved to host the Supergirl fanlisting by The Fanlistings.org (under Comics > Series/Titles). Join Stronger Faster Higher today and show your Supergirl love.

Revamped site! Brand new site design, lots of little fixes and rewrites, and a ton of covers scanned and added from other sites (mostly from the marvelous Mile High Comics, which I discovered recently – you can puchase back issues … Continue reading →

1) Added information and “clean” cover for the upcoming SUPERGIRL:POWER graphic novel which will reprints issues #0 thru #5. The current cover shown on DC Comics website appears to be the same as SUPERGIRL #2. I think I may actually … Continue reading →

I’m dusting this site off by adding a bunch of new stuff, starting with scanning in the covers for which I didn’t have “clean” versions: #1-16, 19, 27, 31, 38 (more to follow). I’ve also added covers to the Comicbooks … Continue reading →

May 6/05: I’ve added a proper site introduction which will hopefully give new visitors a better grasp of what this site’s about. Some of the material is similar to the introductory part of the series and also appears in the … Continue reading →
