New Survey - Add Your Voice!

I just finished crafting a short survey about the MIM site, newsletter, forums, and chat. I'm trying to prioritize changes and improvements as well as decided whether or not to add or discontinue features.

It's a short survey separated into 5 pages. The first page is about the site with questions about the new layout, improvements to content, and potential new classes feature. The second page discusses the newsletter. These questions are to help decide whether or not to continue the newsletter as we have not had submissions in years.

The third page goes into the forums and how we can improve it to increase activity. The fourth page is about the chat room and the current mIRC server. We're trying to decide if we should change the chat client or discontinue this feature.

Finally, the last page is about how you find out about updates to MIM as well as provides a section for you to add any thoughts and opinions that were not answered in the other questions.

Overall, there are 26 questions. Only a few are required. Time can range from 2 - 15 minutes depending on how many questions you answer and how in-depth text responses are.

Please take a few minutes to provide your feedback by filling out our survey. (Click "survey" to go to the Google docs survey.) Thanks in advance!

Blessings,
Evy

More Updated Pages

Three more pages have been updated today. First, the Pentacles page may have been improved considerably with the update in 2010, but, let's face it, it was not my best. Although still a basic discussion of the symbolism and usage of pentacles, this page covers more than it did before.

The Music Magick page is significantly improved. Previously, it was just a short paragraph about use of music in magick and then went into magickal correspondences of instrument types that is adapted from Scott Cunningham's work. Although those correspondences are still in place, the page now features a short discussion on why/how music can benefit magickal practices, preferences of Wiccans and other Witches, and some examples.

Finally, I've cleaned up some of the wordage and added an extra tip to Advice for Beginners. When I was looking over it during the layout change, I noticed that some of my phrasing three years ago came off a bit harsh to beginners. Granted, part of the inspiration to finally write the piece came out of a moment of annoyance and frustration, but that does not excuse some of the occasional harsh ways of putting things. I also added a little tip about how spirituality evolves at the end as it was something important I felt was missing before.

More updates and additions to come!

Update & New Pages

Three more of previously written hubs have been moved to the site. You can now read Remembering Your Personal Power, Bigotry and Religion: Misunderstanding Respect of Individual Beliefs, and Examining the All Gods Are One God Debate in the Articles section of the site.

I have also updated the Elements page by expanding a bit and adding a brief discussion on directional/quarter placement of the Elements in ritual circles.

More updates and changes are coming, so be sure to stay up-to-date by checking in at the site main page or here at the Updates Blog.

Updated Rede Page and Two New Pages

As promised, the Rede page has now been updated with a deeper discussion concerning the Wiccan Rede. Be sure to check it out!

Also, I have moved two more of my articles from HubPages to the site. The site now features the articles Reasons to Research Your Faith's History and False Superstars: Remembering the Real Heroes of Your Faith in the Articles section.

Over the next couple months, there will be more updates and articles moved from HubPages on the site. Be sure to stop at the site or this blog for details.

I am also going through and contacting other webmasters and bloggers with information regarding URL changes from the recent layout change. If you have linked to any pages on the site and the URLs have changed, I will be trying to reach out to you to make your life a little easier in finding the pages you've linked to in the past.

Site Going Down November 4th

The site will be going down for a few hours on Monday, November 4th. I'll be implementing the new layout during that time. A health concern and few other issues delayed the process, but everything is now back on track!
