Site News – New Features Update, Launch Date

Chris McClelland | RSS | Fri, Oct 23 2009 | 0 Comments

Paid Writers – We have almost finished laying out the requirements, design and implementation system  for the paid writer’s area. Also paid writer’s will have a few extra features and abilities that other programs do not have to further enhance a writer’s  presence and marketing efforts as well.

Site Redesign – We are currently undergoing a complete site overhaul and design for the launch of our new website. We will be working hard to help give commenters better access to the system by allowing their comments to hit the site without going through as much moderation in order for some features that require fast responses. Users will also be able to moderate each other comments and report possible violations as well.

More Features – Along with the paid writer’s section we will be adding another feature to the site which will be one of the main cores to the site which will allow people to help each other in a unique way and also earn money in the process. Users that are also part of the paid writer’s section will earn a higher amount than regular users as well.

Launch Date – We are aiming for a January 2010 launch of the official new website.

Feedback & Suggestions – If you would like to suggest a feature for the new website for us to consider please either leave a comment below or contact us directly. We are also open to any feedback as well.

Site News – Paid Writers Area, Captchas Installed

Chris McClelland | RSS | Fri, Sep 25 2009 | 4 Comments

Captchas – We have added another level of security to help prevent spam comments as well as email. Captchas have been installed on comments, as well as the Contact Us, Services, and The Pitch submissions page. While the number of spam that gets through the system is a relatively small percentage of overall comments/email it is a growing number that we wish to make as small as possible.

Paid Writers – We have started looking into various implementations for the paid writers program that will be coming soon. We have not decided fully on the compensation amount or type but it will be one that rewards experienced and repeat writers over one time writers.

The paid writing program will also be a restricted one, in which it will not be available to everyone. Writers will first have to pass a screening process in order to be allowed into the program. The program is being designed to reward quality over quantity.

Site News – Database Upgrade Complete

Chris McClelland | RSS | Sat, Sep 19 2009 | 0 Comments

We have finished our database upgrade and hopefully we have all the bugs worked out, if anyone finds a bug that they would like to report please do so by sending a message to us on the Contact Forum.

As part of the upgrade we where forced to change some things in order to make the site’s current theme compatible with the upgrade, as such our sidebar has been slightly changed as well as the area below posts.

The search, category, and archives have been condensed into one unit to make it easier to use and access for searchers.

Top Commenter has also been removed from the site because it was intended to be something that would be phased out.

The Comment Policy remains the same and there are no plans to change it in the future.

Spammers, sorry guys but you have forced us to make it even more inconvenient for you to even access the site. Last month you attempted to send us(a new high) 32k spam comments. Only around 700 even accessed our site, of which only 17 made it thru our moderation filters and appeared on the site to later be deleted by us. 17/32000 = a 0.05312% chance, not bad. This new upgrade with give you even less of a chance than that. Honestly, make a comment the correct way like everybody else does. Contribute something useful to a conversation and we will let your comment stay up.

More upgrades will be occurring each week as we prepare to launch new features in the coming weeks as announced in our last monthly newsletter.
