A Quick Crimespace Update

[Daniel Hatadi]

Based on my general usage of the site, as well as a few questions from members, I've added a short help page dealing with the less obvious issues of using Crimespace, as well as a few permanent links to things like The Bar and an index of all the blogs. These links can be accessed from the Main page.

I've also added a new Featured Posts section that draws attention to some of the more popular posts, and this seems to be working well.

As Ning adds features to the network, I'll slowly introduce them to Crimespace, and I'll also be writing a few articles on some of the features already present, geared to those that don't have so much experience with all these technical doo-hickeys what the kids are into these days.

Membership is on the up every day, and it looks like Crimespace is turning out to be a damned fun place for crime fiction aficionados to hang out at. I'm dead curious to see how much traffic we get in, say, six months time. I'm looking at ways to keep you all coming back, but my hope is that I won't have to, and you'll all come back just because you want to.

Thanks for the kind words, Breanda. I guess the six month point is a marker for me because I've seen activity die down after other places have been going for that period. It'll be amazing to reach a point where we can celebrate Crimespace anniversaries!

Daniel, Just returned from a visit to Sydney and Melbourne and waxed lyrical to anyone who would listen about Crimespace. I'm wondering though about this six months hence thingy. Do you think we will have reached the 'Six Degrees of Separation' kind of interlock- with every friend a friend?

Great site, Daniel! I love it.

Thank you again, Daniel. You're the salt on my margarita!

Don't worry about bugging me. Bugs are what I'm all about.

If you look up the top of the page, right next to the letter icon, you'll see a little person. Click on that icon and your friend's list should pop down. Then just hit Accept on every request and you're done.

Poor Daniel. I am bugging you again! I am now puzzled about how to accept new friends invitations. Here's what I've done. I went to my gmail addy and Click'd To Accept Invitation on each one. But I don't know if that was enough to do or not. I don't want these kind people to think I am ignoring them!
