The Writer’s DB Blog

Looking back over my previous posts, I realize I never announced the latest new feature when I added it.

Mac OS X users may be pleased to find that we now have a Dashboard widget (version 1.0) to let you view your pending submissions.

Want to keep track of which manuscripts have been out the longest, so you’ll know when it’s time to query? Just obsessed with the up-to-the-minute number of submissions you’ve got circulating Out There?

Clicking on the “Pending Subs” link in the widget will bring you straight to your Pending Submissions page on the site, in your default web browser.

The commenting feature on this blog is now closed.

I may re-open it again when I have some time to research spam-fighting plug-ins for this blogging software. But for now, we’re receiving around six comments per day, and 100% of them are spam. Or else they’re carefully targeted, helpful messages based on the certain knowledge that writers are likely to be in the market for viagra, replica watches, cheap unsecured loans, etc. — and I’m doing all of my subscribers a great disservice by not passing those messages along.

I’m still interested in giving my subscribers a platform for open discussion, but for now, this ain’t it.
