Makes me glad I'm an annual member and that I got in under the wire on the old price, but I didn't notice the price increase until I saw a blog entitled $5.95? Just wondering when the price went up.

Thank you for responding to my question.

Your answer was: "We are continuing to monitor member feedback. Since members have many different opinions on the home page, we are not currently planning to make any significant changes to the current elements."

I don't believe anyone ever complained about showing the title and partial first line of each post. And if you had a problem showing the beginning of each post, wouldn't you have stopped it on all the blogs. Instead you have continued to show the title/first line on the new posts, on the featured blogs, on the Top 100 blogs and in every place I can find except for the top ten blogs on the front page.

Why would you single out only that feature, and not list the title of the latest post, when you list it everywhere else?

Dear BN,

Several people including myself have commented on the removal of the title & first line from each post listed in the top ten. The title & first line is how people tell if something new has been posted. It is important and is still used in the featured blogs and new posts sections.

In a comment on your annoucement of changes in the News section I asked if "Since there is room to expand the top ten column vertically could you include at least the title of the most recent post? "

Can you let me know if this request is being considered?

Thanks.

Can you let me know if the removal of the Dollars Earned information (which used to be on the front page) is permanent and if so, what is the rationale for removing it. Thank you.

don't care that much BUT thought i'd pass on the feedback.
its a necessary part of a "community"

I think I've at least partially figured out the answer to my own question.  The "Portrait of Mr W. H." is an excellent specimin of good writing from the late 1800s and is not risque (where are the foreign character marks around here when you need them?)  I'll create a separate blog for discussions dealing with the sensual topics within this topic.  But the book itself discusses "High Art" and "The Actor as Instrument" of the Musician who is the Playright.  So, I may advertise "sexy" subjects such as homosexuality, without actually delivering pornography, and remain in the "Writing" catagory as long as we don't get graphic or sensual in our discussion of same.  No?

My most recent Blog about Oscar Wilde's "Portrait of Mr W. H." should be in the "Writing" catagory, rather than strictly with the "Arts & Entertainment" area where I've put the rest of my Shakespeare blogs.  How do I change this?  It could also get a little bit X-rated later on as Wilde and I explore the questions of Shakespeare's homosexuality and possible pedaphilia....

Just ignore my last remark (yes I know you already have).  My two day stint without a cigarette has turned me into an evil man beast. 

Yes, even more than before.

I have to admit, I miss seeing the Top 100 for the day.  If you end up making more changes, can we please have this back?  Thanks.

This is getting annoying.  You are slowly killing this place.
