Comments for page "Books Fiction" http://lulu.wikidot.com/forum/t-4349/books-fiction Posts in the discussion thread "Books Fiction" Mon, 16 Mar 2026 02:53:45 +0000 http://lulu.wikidot.com/forum/t-4349#post-9944 (no title) http://lulu.wikidot.com/forum/t-4349/books-fiction#post-9944 Tue, 13 Feb 2007 19:53:45 +0000 Peter Rogerson 7143 Speaking for myself, I'm still learning what the site has to offer and how to achieve what appeals to me from the limited number of commands available (this isn't a complaint - I need these limitations or I get lost) At the moment it doesn't seem that there's enough on this page to warrant a second page. If and when more users add their titles to it then dividing it might be appropriate. What concerns me is that my own output dominates the page when I would prefer it not to, but that's inevitable at the moment with relatively few UK writers using it. I've tried publicising this Wiki far and wide and will continue to do so. I also think a few images would cheer the page up a bit.

It would mean that there would be an extra click to get to each page, but with less content on each page they could be made to look much more attractive, with images of covers, brief descriptions, prices etc, much as some of the member's pages are.

The main books-fiction page could also then be improved with a few images etc, so that it's not just a set of links.

Let me know what you think. At the moment this wouldn't take very long to do.

PS - This particular forum thread is attached to the page books-fiction (as a per-page discussion) and will not feature in the forum proper, though will show up in the recent posts etc. These per-page discussions can be created or reached via the discussion button at the bottom of each page and are useful places to discuss the content of any particular page. By the way, if you click on the discussion button when it shows (0) a forum thread for that page will be started, whether or not you decide to post to it, so try not to click on it when there's a (0) unless you want to post otherwise we end up with masses of empty threads. The content of any particular page can also be rated via the rate button. Useful for letting us all know what works and what doesn't, and which pages are popular, though this feature will probably become more useful when many more pages are added. Finally, the tags button can be used to assign certain keywords to your page, much like the keywords on your Lulu content pages. When created these tags will show up in the tag cloud on the side menu. The tags in this cloud (and those at the bottom of each tagged page) can be clicked on so that all pages with that particular tag will be listed next to the cloud. The more pages each tag is used on, the darker and larger the tag in the cloud becomes, so the cloud should be a good indicator of overall content on the site. Steppenfreak has used these tags to particularly good effect so take a look at her pages to see how they work. I will copy this last section to a thread on the main forum so that those who don't see this particular thread can find out about it.
