Paul and others are still without power in New York and surrounding areas. I heard from Paul yesterday. It is hard for him to call out. I just wanted to let everyone know that he is okay.

Respectfully,
Rett

We've added a few new features, several of which were proposed by members on the idea gallery:

• We've added a "backup" feature to let you download the poems and blogs you have posted to Neopoet
• We've added (for poems by premium members) a way to show who has "favorited"/bookmarked your poem
• Now you can co-write a poem with another (premium) member. We'll be introducing additional tools to support co-writing in the near future.
• We've removed the "please do not critique mechanics" field [from strong support from the idea gallery and the AC]
• We've added a "disagree" button to the idea gallery [from the idea gallery]
• We've add idea gallery threads to the "tracker" tool, to profiles, and to "recent updates" area. The dashboard also has a new module which shows submissions to the ideas gallery. [from the idea gallery]

If you are a standard member, please check out the additional features available to premium members. Get the first look at new features and help support Neopoet.
