Ta-da!

Right, there you go. Finished messing with things, near enough. We should have better readability, cross-browser compatibility etc., and general ease of use. Please shout if you see any problems or anything you utterly hate. The community tags are a bit messed up and need revision; if anyone would like to suggest things there, you're quite welcome.

First, thank you for all your work! I love what you've done with the place. :P

I know it takes time to make a community a lively, active place so I think some of it will develop naturally. I think the main thing is to get us sharing our stuff, or even just sharing interesting things we find along the way.

So in the spirit of this goal, I'm going to be ultra brave and post pieces of some of the things I've been working on.

Thank you - glad you like it. ;)

And RAH! Thank you for sharing - I'm about to go and read now. Agreed, it's a process of growth, but I figure I can insert a few small squibs now and then. *grin*

I'm pretty much happy with anything that means more community activity! I like seeing a community with healthy updates, and I'm glad to have finally stumbled onto some communities that seem to be updating strongly.

Excellent. It seems so far that everyone agrees on wanting more community-based discussion as a way of getting more involved, so hopefully we can start there!

I'd like to respond more, but I've been travelling for hours and hours and my brain has taken on the consistency of well mutilated jello.

I'd love to belong to some sort of writing discussion group!

Ooh, I sympathise. I used to do a daily five-hour commute for uni. Blech.

Right - discussion it is! ;)

Heh. I had been up all day on Friday, then we took a red-eye flight from California to Boston... and when I read this post, it was 9pm on Saturday night. I'm sort of impressed I could type.

I'm interested in discussion and critique and thought and prompts and most of the things you mentioned except for contests, honestly.
