We'll be doing that at the start of December. :)"

Cool, thanks.
I'll create my thread at that time, then :)

I like the new cover page banner.

LOVE the new 2015 group banner you gave a sneak peak of in the Announcement section! Nice work!

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

I really like the new homepage banner. :)
Is it possible to add little pictures once in a while? I really loved those little bats in October.

[Holly, That Geeky One]

Of course, I think it works well! :D

[Srividya]

Love the new banner! :) :)

[caitlin;]

Love the new banner! Also have we decided on the group wide challenge or not? Just wondering :)

[Stephanie]

I love the new banner!

[Overbooked ✎]

Love the new group banner!

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

Oh! I finally got to see the WHOLE banner from Holly's Magic Shop. It's BEAUTIFUL!
Fabulous job, Holly! We'll all be so shiny and new!

[Becca]

Will we have separate widgets for genre challenge, nonfiction challenge, and world lit challenge?

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

We were just talking about that! Probably separate we are still working it out.

[Holly, That Geeky One]

It's something we've definitely been discussing.

I believe what we'll do is get rid of the typical reading challenge widget, since people are more likely to use the normal reading challenge widget which is on the site.

We will then have the 3 challenges as separate widgets, laid out like the current Genre Challenge.

I hope this makes sense :)

[Becca]

Sounds good. I have to remind myself to update the shelf that feeds the general widget.

Eta: I think I posted this is the wrong section-mods, feel free to move to the correct thread!

So, I'm doing December's Genre group book, The Neverending Story, in audio book form-my first ever audio book and it's quite fun :) That got me thinking-would anyone be up for some sort of audio book mini-challenge in 2015? I've never given audio books much thought, but now I see how listening to a book with a narrator, is a totally different experience than reading a book! I was thinking something super simple, with levels (3, 6, 12 audio books in the year etc) and the books/genres etc are up to the participant.

Would anyone else be interested in this type of mini-challenge?

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

Personally, I LOVE audiobooks, and always have at least one loaded into my phone. Feel free to design and post a mini-challenge in the Mini-Challenge folder. I'm sure it will attract other members.

How did I not know about them?!? lol. I feel the need to listen to all of my favorite books now :D

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

I hear ya! I turn the key in the ignition and then turn on a book. My commute is a whole different thing.

hehe, another audiobook convert! :-)

[Roseanne]

I was actually thinking about listing my audios separate from my other books this year.

[Cristal]

I love audio books, what's great idea:-)

[Kimberley]

Would it be possible to have a seperate folder for 2015 Mini Challenges? I want to take part in a bunch, but I don't enjoy searching to find which ones are taking place next year!

[Holly, That Geeky One]

Hi Kimberley, we are in the process of archiving/deleting posts and rearranging everything in the group. In the next few days we will most likely be archiving many old, completed mini-challenges so things should be a bit clearer then.

In the mean time, I believe most 2015 Mini Challenges will have '2015' after them, if this is any help. Hopefully things will be a bit clearer in the next few days for you.

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

We're cleaning things up for the new year, even as I text. For now, I've marked most of the upcoming minis as 2015 to help with location.

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

Holly and I are cross-posting again!

[Kimberley]

Awesome! Thanks, guys (; Really should've assumed you'd be clearing it up before I asked lol

[Holly, That Geeky One]

Aha, don't worry about it, we're happy to help :)

[Holly, That Geeky One]

Now that things have comfortably settled in for this year, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions to make the group even better this year?

We're always looking for new things!
