Sol,
I posted a story yesterday, and just followed the instructions. everything went well, and I thought I posted it in Fantasy and Science fiction.  But I can't find it anywhere, except on my home page. How does this posting work? After I post, do I have to invite folks to review it?  I thought when I selected the groups to post it to, it would should up in those groups  it's "Beyond the Event Horizon." What did I miss? where did I go wrong?

Thanks.

Ernie

Hey, I found my way back-Thanks Amy. I'll have Chapter one done by the end of the week, I hope.  I have no title yet except "Book." pretty original, huh? Not rushing into publishing is smart...ducks in a row, and all that. My ducks are a lot like herding cats right now.

A lot of good ideas here. One of the things I detest and get really frustrated with is noodling out a new interface. I've been to places I can't seem to get back to, and I click on things not sure what will happen, or I end up someplace that baffles me. I think you will need to do this eventually anyway--that is: some sort of tutorial or help. I don't care how you do it: building it into the interface with roll-over pop-ups or a series of cataloged screen shots that have roll-over pop-ups.

It would help me immensely to see how the site is mapped by function. It would help me immensely to get definition of a lot of these features. and it's really important to use definitions that explain WHEN to use a feature, and WHY to use a feature. A good example is we now have four types of reviews. What are they used for? When do we use one type over another? Where do they show up and does it make a difference--who can access them< Public, connected writers, group members... there are so many combinations whirling around my head I can't sort everything out into some logical hierarchy.

The first thing I want to do when I come to MY PAGE is: See if my stuff has been reviewed, see if I need to respond to a review or a message, and check on the writers I am following to see if I need to review something--the rest is fluffy and just gets in my way of the stuff I need to carry out. There are features here that are quite intuitive--the menus at the top work well for me, but going two or three clicks past them can get me lost. I am still trying to find the group where someone, or perhaps it was automatic when I joined a links for "Ernie's Feedback," or something like that. amy  s. and C.Lee left messages there, I replied, but can't find my way back.  It could be erased for all I know.  I know a lot of this will go away when this beta gets more mature. I've bee on computers for a long time--Since DOS 2.1--but still there are times when I can be awfully dense-- like now I think.

All things considered, the new site is really bitchen' and I think it's a winner-- a great look, and well, the "feel" part is still coming for me.

Thanks for a great job, and I think I can find my way back here in case you feel you need to reply.

No, it's not on my home page. It is on "MY Groups" page. Still getting used to navigating, so I guess there is a difference from the site home page and "My home page." I am still using the old URL for TNBW and get an error, but I still can login from there. Isthere a new URL that I can used for my forites?

Thanks,

Ernie
