New Random Rambling

I've added a new rant to the Random Ramblings page. Because of Wiccan's Rede of "Harm None," questions about whether or a not a Wiccan should be vegetarian come up frequently. The rant "Vegetarian Wiccans" is one Vegan Wiccan's response. Hope you enjoy!

Guest Input for Polls

It was brought to my attention this morning that visitors cannot vote in the site update poll and forum update poll. True, only members of the forums can vote on the poll options. However, the polls are posted in the General board where guests can post. In other words, if you are a guest to the forums and do not wish to sign up to be a member but would like to add your input, please do so by replying to the poll threads. As a guest, you can remain anonymous if you so desire. Please let me know if you run across any other problems!

A Little Organization Goes A Long Way

As suggested by a member of the forums in the site update poll, I've reorganized two of the longer pages. The Book Reviews page now separates into five pages by book author last names: A-B, C, D-H, I-R, and S-Z. Some of these pages already look pretty full (C has a page of its own because it has 15 reviews already). Others are a little sparse (A-B only has 3 reviews currently). Over time, these pages will fill more and some shuffling may go on. For the time being, however, this breakdown will stay in place. The main page of the Book Reviews page will continue to include what I'm currently reading, why I don't list Silver Ravenwolf books that I have read, and those books that I will more than likely never finish.

The Random Ramblings page was a little more difficult to consider a method of breaking down into parts. Because they are, by their very nature, random, it's hard to decide categories. Instead, I've merely created a sublink list to each rambling near the top. Simply click on the link and it will take you to that part of the page.

Let me know what you think of the changes! If there's any other pages that could benefit from reorganizing, let me know here or stop by the site update poll and add your voice!

News Feed is Back!

Not long after the polls for site and forum updates were opened, a member of the forums pointed out that our news feed on the site for Pagan news had not updated since 2008. Since old news isn't news ("new" is the key part of the term), I took the page down until a more suitable news feed could be found. The Wild Hunt blog is a popular avenue for up-to-date Pagan news. With a dedication to honest journalism, the articles on this blog can be trusted for accuracy and will be around for quite some time. The Pagan News Feed on the site will now feature The Wild Hunt blog feed.

Two New Book Reviews

I've added two more reviews to the Pagan Book Reviews page. I have finally completed the year and a day study of Penzack's Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft. Definitely an awesome book for anyone past witchcraft 101. Dugan's Practical Protection Magick was an awesome read full of information on this often neglected topic. It's great for any magickal practitioner or anyone sensitive to energy and magick. Be sure to check out the Book Reviews page for the full reviews!

Moderator Positions Now Open

With the boards reorganized at the forums, it's time to get some mods assigned to each of them. We currently have 20 boards (including sub-boards) without assigned moderators. If you are interested in moderating a board, let me know! Check out the new thread at the forums for more detailed information on duties, expectations, and how to apply.
