I know people have a hard time following straight URLs, though, so, useful though they are, since I presently HAVE the URLs I need for archive preservation and ease of copying, I'll give fuller links for the most recent stuff I put on this page now:
I haven't updated this thread in a while before today.
I suppose there are two main reasons for that:
1) I haven't felt Diana has done very much that is impressive in the new DC Universe.
2) I haven't felt completely comfortable with some of the elements I'm starting to see in Diana's books.
I'm not quite so certain she's as good, overall, to promote as I once did.
For the time being, I've made a measure of peace with the latter;
this month past gave a partial answer to the former.
I've begun expanding to outside image host providers (IHPs) once again.
Outside pressure was unable to convince me I should do other than keep to the style you see exhibited here, but, unfortunately, I discovered that,
in contrast with the way it was last time I posted in this thread many months ago
KMC no longer allows unregistered visitors to view the specifically KMC-hosted images contained herein.
So I can't reach the wider audience this was intended for without using outside IHPs.
Hence I am once again using IHPs.
I've found "tinypic" dotcom a reasonably faithful one, historically.
No registration required, practically no outages, etcetera.
It has more advertising now, but clicking the images, closing, and reopening them seems to yield the raw images bereft of those, so its not too great an inconvenience.
At any rate, without further ado:
Diana, in a recent February issue, showing a remarkably good account of herself in terms of speed,
use of resources, knowledge of secondary physics,
and great physical strength and skill ...
... versus two superpowered Kryptonians that nearly trashed Superman in this same engagement:

Wonder Woman seems to be garnering a bit more respect from DC than before.
Her proposed inclusion in the upcoming Superman/Batman film is perhaps the most hopeful sign; her prominent showings in recent animated releases are another.
Gal Gadot has been announced as the choice for actress for the role.
While that news doesn't exactly thrill me, I appreciate the fact that, so far Gadot is an actress that has not undergone the knife.
Wonder Woman, for me, should always have elements that promote family values and good health. She should be someone young girls, if they have absolutely no one else, can look to as a general guide for what is desirable to emulate.
I hope and pray the days are ahead where women in the healthy ranges of weight, women comfortable in their own skin, women who take care of themselves, women who are inspirational or even leaders in their community, are the kind of people eventually portraying Diana on the big screen.
Not worth the wait, though, to be fair, Palicki and the rest probably not only tried their best, but actually reflected what Wonder Woman during the transition period following issue #600 was really like.
Might be spoiled at this point by how well Melissa Benoist demonstrated what a superhero TV show can deliver, though. Never dreamed we'd get what CBS came through with these past 6 months. Perhaps it's just as well things turned out the way they did.
