How can I update my ticker counter for every book I read?
Ahhh! That is where/why the web site gets marked down in rating on Facebook! LOL!I have tried to keep track of a different password for each challenge; however, I haven't picked very good ones as I am sure they get used by someone else (spring, books 2011, etc.). The thing is - you have to type in everything exactly the same for it to recall it all. It is sometimes easier for me to just start from scratch. You might try opening a second window in order to be able to look at what you have typed on GoodReads while you do this.
I see. Well, it can't be too hard to do it from scatch everytime anyway. I can't remember my password already, LOL!

Here's a question. I updated my ticker counter in one post to update my challenge progress. I noticed that it was also updated in the previous post. I thought I only updated it for the one post. Or, did I really update twice, and can't remember doing it?
You could be right; maybe it's not you. Maybe that's a good reason to put a new pass word in each time.
