A New Concordance

Those eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that over the last few days "The Methtintdour Concordance" has changed.

It was previously hosted by an external company, and the fact that there were adverts splashed across every screen never sat easy with me. This weekend I took the decision to rehost it myself, and so now The Concordance is ad-free on the DC server.

The downside of this is that, whereas before there was the possibility of other collectors editing the pages and adding content, I am the only person who will be able to make changes. 

However, I'd trade a little work for an ad free site anyday. Hopefully, you'll agree as well!

Shop Online

There's a new image on the sidebar to the right of this page (see below right), and a new link on every study page throughout the website. The TMCollectables website is up and running. 

Offering a one stop shop for the latest studies, as well as retired studies from previous years too, ordering is simple. Best of all, P&P is free in the UK.

Changes are coming

With recent Health concerns (fortunately these are now behind me), the site has been abandoned over the past few months. During this time I've been thinking about how to continue keeping everyone updated with the latest news and developments in the world of Myth and Magic.

As a result, I've come to the following conclusions;

1. The blog and the newsletter are often duplicating news. There are also times when I delay news for the newsletter that could be sent out instantly with a posting on the blog. Therefore the blog will become the main area to find out the latest news. In addition to the blog, our Twitter feed can offer breaking news instantly.

2. The newsletter will no longer be sent out. Subscribers to it will still have access to the subscribers section of the website exclusively (for the moment, see point 3)

3. The subscribers section of the website will be opened up to all at the end of this year, allowing subscribers and non - subscribers to access the contents within it. 

4. The main website will continue to run as it has done previously, along with the forum, :MyChart, The Methtintdour Concordance, classifieds and mobile site. The exceptions to this are mentioned in point 5.

5. The monthly vote within the newsletter will no longer continue to operate (unless there is a demand for this feature). The previous votes will remain on the website as reference. The same is true of the newsletters page.

I am hoping that these changes will allow me to keep the site fresher, whilst requiring less time on my side. If you have any thoughts, please feel free to leave a comment below.

More updates completed

:MyChart requests are now up to date. A reminder for all concerned - a :MyChart account will only be activated if you receive the newsletter, or are a member of the forum. Email addresses that do not match either a newsletter or forum address will be rejected.

Newsletter requests have also been approved and are up to date.

Forum Requests

We're back up to date with forum requests at the moment. Some people may find that they have two forum requests in their inbox - this is because we weren't sure how far we'd got with previous requests, and may have duplicated some as a result. We apologise for spamming anyones inbox with duplicate messages.

During the week we are (hopefully) going to be able to get up to date with the :MyChart requests, and also add images of the latest studies to the website. (PS - these images are already available to anyone who follows our twitter feed)

Some questions and answers

Xystos posted in the forum earlier to answer a few questions raised. You can read all their answers in this posting but we've reprinted one below;

Q. The competition - closing date says 1st May (that gives 1 week from the magazine arriving)

 A. The magazine was meant to out before now so I think it only fair to keep the competition open until the end of May.

DragonsCavern is hibernating

During the weekend of April 4th/5th here at DragonsCavern we had a bit of a healthscare, and suffered a heart attack in the night.

Following treatment at the local hospital, and an extended stay, I am pleased to be back at home - tired, scared and exhausted.

As a result of this, I am taking time away from everything for a while in order to build strength back up. 

The websites will contain to run - and remain available on the internet (the forum will need at least one posting once every month to keep it active).

As soon as I am better I will return - fitter and stronger.
