We will have to figure something out for the  :jalapeno   
I recently added a peel away on the top left side of the homepage.  Brandon is seeing what he can come up that will be used to promote Graveside Books.  I want to change the popup to be a place for newsletter subscribers.  Coming soon

I've been frantic in my sketching. A few concepts so far and a few already tossed in the trash. I'm just praying what I come up with does GST justice. :tombstone
I never fear killing off a character I love. Everyday people watch the ones they love die. It hurts a reader to have a character they have learned to love die right there in their hands and no amount of whiteout will change that. A reality check like that makes all the fiction stuff seem all the more plausible. When I sat with my mother as she died I realized how true these words were. The best thing about fiction is that you can always pick up the book again and read life back into the characters you loved. Unlike life, people in books never truly die forever.

A killer logo for Graveside Books would work

And I finally settled on an image I liked, so now it's up to Dale if he likes it and then maybe everyone else can see it.  :chairshot

I am considering a very radical and simple homepage.  I just don't have enough info to constantly update the site.

Thoughts?

A big squeeze page so that you must buy at least one of our books to enter the forum.  :jalapeno

Honestly I haven't given it much thought.  I mean don't get me wrong I LOVE the site as it is but I just don't have enough content/time to have it changing.  :angry2

Such a busy looking new front page for the forum!

I like it!  Lots of stats!

Thanks ZZ, it's going to serve our purposes much better when I get things fully running.  I will be able to post news updates there as well.  There will be a shoutbox feature as well.   

For those who have not figured it out you can still reach the main index and this how:

Graveside Tales ? Graveside Tales Publications ? News ?

This is the forum structure.  If you click on Graveside Tales it will take you to the index or the entire list of threads.

It's that time again.  After discussion with Myrrym GST homepage is going through a change once again.  We are shooting for a faster loading and more of a streamlined site.  It's pretty much in place with just a few tweaks needed. 

Stop by the homepage and let us know what you think.
