I haven't started it yet. How is it so far?

The nice thing about the books is that you can usually take them all over the place and read a story here and there.
Are the books generally anthologys or are they straight single stories?

Is anything being done to make all the Eden pages more standardized, and to make the overall site, with clubs, community, EdenCafe, Sexis, etc... easier to navigate?

Not off the top of my head.

The first story is surprisingly literary. I loved it. The second story is surprising depressing. I really didn't like it.

haha, I know. Just way to much stuff going on right now. I do think about it every time I get an invite on FB. Some day, maybe...

They're usually anthologies (I think). It's a collection of short stories, which I believe makes up an anthology.

It seems like they are usually anthologies, but I'm still pretty new.

Lately they have been anthologies, but it depends on what they are sent for us to read.

Not from me.

Looking forward to the Back to School fund raiser.

There's always programming and work being done, but I'm not normally in the loop. I can however pass on suggestions. What would make the site flow better, in your opinion?

Thats why I like it when it's a compilation of stories. Even if I don't like one, I may love the next.

A total overhaul?

Lol, I spend a lot of time here, so I'm pretty much used to how everything is laid out and my biggest gripe is the lack of consistency between product pages. However, if we knew what exactly it was that was keeping people from finding their way around easily, we can work on trying to get that changed.

IMO? Don't change a thing. I just started to get it all figured out! It only took me a little over a year.

That would be a really long post. The first thing that pops into my mind is to have a drop down menu for the search function that allows you to choose which area of Eden you want to search. It took me forever to figure out that those tab things served the function of a drop down menu.

There are lots of other things. I'll spend some time and write them all out and send you an email, if you'd like.

I can also ask my husband for the correct terminology, he used to work as a web designer.

To me, the website is like a house that they kept adding new wings on. It just doesn't flow well overall and lacks consistency. Having the quick links be in the same place on every page would be a start. But even things like incorporating the blog/clubs better would be nice. It's like EF outgrew the original format that was made.

I would say that probably the biggest drawback is the lack of consistency in the page formatting. Sexis is formatted one way. The Cafe is formatted a different wasy, the Forum is formatted a third way. It is difficult to always figure out how to plan what you are going to find or which way to expect the page to work.

Correct terminology can't hurt. I can't make any promises that anything will get changed, but I will certainly take your suggestions and bring them up. Go ahead and email me your list

I agree. It's like EdenCafe, the clubs, etc.. are not really a part of Eden at all, just weird outgrowths that you accidentally discover.

Okay, I'll see what I can do (and get my husband to do).
