New Height Books: New and Improved
October 29th, 2007 by Chris Davis, posted in Site UpdatesAfter a few harrowing months, we are ecstatic to announce the complete rebuild of New Height Books. And it’s not just a new design; we’ve added some great new features, a slicker interface, and lots of ways for YOU to get involved in the site. Here’s a quick rundown of everything that’s been done, though the best way to find out it is to start using the site!
User Accounts
You can now register with New Height Books. Doing so makes it quick and easy to use some of the special features in the site (more on that soon), and allows us to keep out any rif-raf that may try to spam our site and tarnish our shiny new digs. So what does a user account get you? Glad you asked!
User Features
Registered users can rate and review any book they like, comment on the blog (that’s this part right here), submit books for inclusion in the site and more. All you need is a username and an email address. This ensures that you get credit for your contribution to New Height Books, and you’ll be able to use this same account on any future New Height projects.
Improved Navigation and Search
The first draft of New Height Books was made page for page from scratch, and as such was a hassle to keep up and difficult to get around. Now NHB is completely dynamic and database driven, meaning that any additions are instantaneous and all the books listed are searchable by author or title.
Other Stuff
RSS Feeds: We’ve got RSS Feeds for just about everything. Each book category has its own feed, or you can get just books or just movies, blog posts, or everything in one.
Monthly Newsletter: As if RSS Feeds didn’t make it easy enough to never visit the site, we also send out a monthly email update on new listings and featured content.
FAQ: New Height Books covers a very specific niche, and it’s important for all those who use the site to what we’re about, so use the FAQ to get to know the ins and outs of our operation, and feel free to post your own question for us.
What’s The Same
New Height Books is still dedicated to creating a comprehensive library of romantic realist literature and rational nonfiction, and neither our drive nor our standards have changed. We hope you enjoy the rebuild, and please let us know what else we can add for you.
