 Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2008 2:00 am Post subject: Updates & New (Exciting!) Features List for 2-12-08 |
 |
|
A lot of new updates and changes have been done in the past two weeks.
Birthdays List
From now on, only those members with at least 5 posts will be displayed in the birthdays list at the bottom of the community forums.
Downloads & Activities Section Revamped
The downloads section finally includes YWS wallpapers for your desktop, as well as some games & activities. If you haven't yet, check it out.
Also, if you have any writing theme (not necessarily YWS) desktop wallpaper you have made, just let me know. Please post it in the Art & Photography forum first though.
Random Generators
You can get to all of these from the Downloads & Activities page.
Name Generator: Stuck on a name for your character? Check out the new name generator. You can either choose one randomly, or choose from English, Celtic, Welsh, Harry Potter, or Spanish. For fantasy, the Celtic one works out well. Over 2,000,000 possibilities!
Poem Generator: Just something to waste time on really. The poem generator chooses from the first lines of nearly 3,800 poems to make an entirely new one. Most of the time, it makes no sense. But every now and then, a good one emerges.
Poetic Line Generator: This randomly generates a poetic line. Great for starting off a poem.
Story Theme Generator: Want to write, but out of ideas? Use this to come up with a writing prompt. Over 50,000 possibilities! |

I think a lot of people are going to find the generators useful.
 You're so progressive! |
