Hex Libris: the Magical Library Webcomic » News http://hexlibriscomic.com Erik Fri, 23 Apr 2010 06:01:08 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 New Feature, and Audience Participation http://hexlibriscomic.com/news/new-feature-and-audience-participation/ http://hexlibriscomic.com/news/new-feature-and-audience-participation/#comments Fri, 15 Jan 2010 19:16:01 +0000 Erik http://hexlibriscomic.com/?p=814 I’ve just added a new feature to the site: The Reading List. I’m growing this site to include more about books and reading. After all, Hex Libris is about a magical library, so I’m guessing my audience has at least some interest in books.

The Reading List will feature book reviews, and I’m opening the doors to my readership on this one. If you’d like to contribute a review, please feel free to send it along. Include your name, your review and whether you recommend the book or not (I’ll put that notation at the top of reviews… they don’t have to be positive reviews, since that would get boring). I’ll give you a byline and a link back to your own site if you so desire. Keep in mind that my audience is all-ages in your writing style and mention whether the book is appropriate for all ages or not. My first review is for a book that is definitely not for the younger set, despite some marketing missteps that have led some to believe it’s a kids book.

Stay tuned for more new features on Hex Libris.

If (and only if) you enjoy what you see here, please click it and choose ways to share the site with your friends. You see, I don’t have a huge audience, and I’d love to have more people visiting. I’ve recently been on reddit.com and experienced a huge upswing in visitors. Of course, I won’t keep all of them, but if just a few stick around every time the site is shared, then you’ve helped me grow my readership. If you do reddit, choose to put me in the “comics” category (in ShareThis, it’s the field automatically filled in with reddit.com when you click reddit: being more specific with comics will help me get those who like webcomics).
