Thank you very much.

I think I used to be signed up to the Twitter feed, but quit it, because I got the impression it was only re-posting what was in the Livejournal community (which AFAICT has only random highlights, not all new material?)

The sidebar on the right of the Welcome page... I wonder if I ignored that automatically because it starts with an advertisment ("in house", yes, but, well, reflexes... ^_^°).
I think it would be nice to know before you sign up WHAT kind of mailing list it is. A discussion list? Something that sends a message every time something new appears on the site? A weekly or monthly newsletter?

The RSS feed I haven't found anywhere I looked even knowing it exists, and doing a google search (site:tornworld.net RSS) brings up only a forum thread.

When looking for a way to subscribe to anything, before posting my initial question, I had checked under "publications" and "fiction", not "creators".

Suggestion for consideration: Maybe add the standard RSS link at the top of the right bar, or the very top right corner of the site? And add a page on the lines of "ways to follow us elsewhere", including a list of links and a short note what you find at any given channel, and put a link next to the RSS icon?

Anke, these are useful thoughts! Thank you.

I had a thought this morning. I was idly browsing through eBay, searching for some beads for a costume. One of the beads I found was a -very- small (around 2cm) carved wooden owl that looked like -exactly- something the north would have.

What this thought lead me to, was it would be cool to be able to link these to the Twitter account (the pictures, not the OMG BUY THIS) for inspiration. Is this the kind of thing what people want?

This is the bead itself (trust me, I have been resisting these beads. There is the cutest mouse one) : Oriental Hand Carved Wooden Japanese Ojime Bead - Owl
Beautiful hand carved wooden ojime bead measuring 19mm and depicts an owl.

Is this side: http://www.tornworld.net/fiction.php just in progress or why does it not open when I go on "Fiction" at the side, directly?

It's still in progress - I haven't added it to the menu yet! I wanted to have a few more of the major storylines created before I made it the major landing page for fiction! I have started incorporating the information on the actual story pages, though - the only thing I'm running into is that it sometimes makes that right sidebar really TALL if a story is in a lot of different story collections. I have an idea of how to fix that.

Oh, and a "Donate" button on the Home page would be useful, wouldn`t it? I can imagine some people would like to give support directly.

Hmm! I've added a donation button to the bottom of the subscription page: http://www.tornworld.net/supporters.php - it didn't really occur to me that people would want to do that directly as opposed to subscribe or buy credits, but it does make sense!

I also added a link to that page with the generic links at the bottom - and updated all of those links, because they were all pointing to old places!
