What’s new at the Node?

Posted by , on 10 February 2011

We’ve been busy – both behind the scenes and in plain view – so it’s time for another update.

Contest
We’re currently running our very first contest, with a prize generously donated by TipArt. If you’d like to win a chance to commission some unique science-themed art, remember to send in your images before the end of this month.

Loading issue and other technical stuff
We’re aware of the slow loading front page, and are actively looking for someone to fix this, as well as other issues. Preferably a UK-based web developer with knowledge of PHP/Wordpress. If you know anyone fitting that description, send them our way!

Reporting comments
We’ve removed the link to “report comments” because it was attracting too much random and unnecessary clicking (making us have to re-approve every single comment on the site – no exceptions.). Have a look at the Help Page to see what to do if you ever come across any offensive/spam content on the Node.

Coming up
We’re currently working on getting author biographies with every post. It will use the text you have entered in your profiles, so have another look at that one of these days and make sure it’s up to date, and something you wouldn’t mind showing up under you posts. More on this later.
