Fine Tuning Log

We're always working to improve the site for you. The following is a running list (most recent first) of changes made to the way LaurisList.com functions in the last 60 days or so. This may include structural changes, policy changes, or other items, but will not include everything: items are listed here at the discretion of administrators, in the interest of customer service. It is not intended to be a comprehensive record.

Caroling directory launched

08/09/10

This members-only resource offers confirmed information on local caroling companies, so that member singers can either contact them to schedule an audition, or refrain from bothering them if they're not hiring. These are not casting calls -- just a centralized directory of information on local contractors. Current members can find this resource under the 'Directories' menu or click here.

Twitter back in action

07/30/10

@laurislist is activated again on Twitter.com, and it's now open to the public. Previously used for members-only post notification, we didn't get enough followers to merit the workload involved in keeping it current. The feed will now be used for general informational purposes and public announcements. To follow us and view our recent activity, click here.

No more individual newsletter links

07/16/10

Changed linking within newsletter: In order to reduce workload and encourage browsing on the site, the newsletter sections showing new site activity (e.g. On the Board, From the Forums) will no longer show links to individual posts. Summaries will be included, but readers can click the headers to view an index for each section and get an up-to-the-minute index of what's there. (The usual login requirements will apply.)
