There is now a new look to the stories blog, and I also made a new URL to get it under the paradevo.net domain: stories.paradevo.net/Ditto with the reviews blog: reviews.paradevo.net/(I realized this morning that there are some technical difficulties I created by changing things, but since I'm going to work now, I'll deal with that later. Bear with me.) Also, in order to clean up the list of stories, I had to make it so that new story titles don't automatically get added to the list. So if you make a new story and tag it with a new title, let me know so that I can check it off to add it to the list. No, these two links do not work for me either. Maybe you should edit your post so the old links appear instead? |

I have one small comment about the new design. The font in the menu is in Italics, which can be a bit blurry and hard to read.
I always thought that straight letters made for a more straight-looking site. Just my two cents.

Yup - especially when it is to be read on a small screen, such as a cell phone screen (where I think many members read stories these days). But no worries, it is just my opinion  |

The site looks different from a cellphone, so that's not an issue. I'm not a fan of the new fonts either... but it's a personal preference (it is true that sans serif fonts are easier to read on a screen)
I do have one suggestion... Can we add a link to the board? We talked about this issue on dev chat once, and apparently there's people reading the stories who don't even know there's a community attached to it.

It could just be me, but I've been having some issues with the blog not loading. At first I thought it was just IE being stupid, but I'm having issues in Firefox as well. Just FYI.

Yesterday I screwed everything up. But today it should all be functional, including the new URLs. Any issues today?

It was earlier today, but it seems to be working now. So maybe my browsers were using an old version or something. *shrugs*

We talked about this issue on dev chat once, and apparently there's people reading the stories who don't even know there's a community attached to it. There is a link right up at the top of the page, next to the stories archive. It has always been there. I know I did say during a skype chat a few months ago that it seemed the readership was diverging, but on second thought I may have been overstating the case. Looking at the referring links, 99% are coming from either the website or the message board, with a few from Ruth's and Annabelle's websites. More than 2/3 of the search terms are for "paradevo" or "paradevo stories" etc. And the number of daily hits on the board roughly corresponds with the hits on the story site. I think people are aware the message board exists. Whether they choose to make an account and post here is another matter. |
