dude Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Hi Gang?. Well here we are? fast approaching the end of Summer? or Winter if you are ?down unda? where some of our authors and readers are. Labor Day weekend is coming up for those in the USA and with it some changes around AwesomeDude. On September 1st we?ll be making some changes to our AwesomeDude Home Page (aren?t we always?) addressing some problems readers have cited? with popup menus. Codey, with the help of our intrepid Blue, will also be launching his own new website ? a member of the growing AwesomeDude family of sites. We?ll also be launching a sister site to AD which will cater to folks who are interested only in G-rated stories. We have successfully implemented our new AD Forums which you probably know if you are here now. We have also begun AwesomeDude Community Blogs with a couple of our authors. WBMS was the first to initiate his hosted blog Wibby?s Blog From Hell, while James Savik has linked his blog The Beast?s Lair from GA. Now that a couple of our authors have gotten the ball rolling, we will open up blogging to registered members of AD Forums on September 1st, as well. And as if that wasn?t a lot of news? we have also opened the AwesomeDude Community Chat Room? which is very simple to use and very quick and quite spiffy. Like the blogs? live chat is open to registered members of AwesomeDude Forums. Blue, when he isn?t toiling on Codey?s new website? has agreed to be our AD Forums Technical Administrator. This means he?ll be working on making the forums a bit easier to deal with? fonts and buttons and things? stuff he does so well. Our thanks to him. Featured this week? our Codey has come up with another fable? the second in a series. Check out The Nature of Bear? A Fable by Codey. This week?s updates: The Garden by Nevius ? Chapter 17 has been posted. Heart of The Tree by Graeme ? Chapter 8 (a pivotal one) is up. It Stays in Vegas by Jack Scribe ? Part 11 is now available. A few of our weekly posters are AWOL during the peak of US vacation season. Next week expect Chapter Three of Free Fall by Codey and an important new chapter of The Scrolls of Icaria by Jamie. Go check out the AwesomeDude Community Blogs and Live Chat? available to all registered members. Authors can start their blogs now? and other members from Sept 1st. Chat is open now! That?s it for this week. Look for the new sites and new home page to be up this time next week. In the meantime, have a great week of reading. Link to comment
blue Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Blue, when he isn?t toiling on Codey?s new website? has agreed to be our AD Forums Technical Administrator. This means he?ll be working on making the forums a bit easier to deal with? fonts and buttons and things? stuff he does so well. Our thanks to him. "Hmm, I wonder what this button does?" (You know, the one labelled, "Never push this button!") ;) I've tweaked the font sizes. You should now be able to see them more comfortably. The table for your login/logout was increased in width so it would wrap nicely. As long as your screen is 800x600 or higher, it should fit on screen fine. The forum icons on the main index page are now a little clearer as to what's new and not new. The links to the "Blogs" and "Live Chat" are no longer mashed together. They will have image buttons, as soon as we find where to add them in the software. Link to comment
