I'm going to be doing some "housekeeping" work on the site over the summer. My big project will be moving all my hosted stories off of free Geocities accounts and onto my dreamers-sanctuary.com domain. I'm doing a little revamping work while I'm at it - adding links to the next chapter and the table of contents to the bottom of every chapter, so make it more user-friendly and easier to navigate for readers. This is going to take forever, but it will be worth it.
I'm also thinking of moving some of the random sections of the site that haven't been updated in years to an archive page of some sort, where they will stay for anyone who does want to go read them, but won't be taking up space on my menus.
And who knows, there may even be a new layout in this revamp if I get inspired.
While I'm thinking about changes to the site, though, are there any new features you would like to see on the site? Anything you think would make the site better, bring in more visitors/readers?
My visitor count has gone WAY down since I finished BMS at the beginning of last year, which doesn't really surprise me because I know most of the people who were coming to the site regularly were coming to read that story, and now that it's not being updated anymore, they don't come regularly anymore either. Makes sense. But it's a little disappointing because I AM still writing, I've never stopped, and I'm actually updating the site very regularly again and have been for a few months now.
I'm just wondering what I can do to bring more visitors back to the site. Besides updates on my own stories, what else would you like to see? More hosted stories? Or something besides stories? I can't promise anything, but I'm totally open to any ideas or suggestions! So if you can think of any, post them here!
