Because I'm tired of answering the same questions over and over *g*, please be sure to read: how to add a page, FAQ, how to format content, getting started and what's a wikiname? before emailing me with a question that's already been answered on one of those pages. :) Gracias. --Aithine

Added interwiki options for Journal Fen, Greatest Journal and Insane Journal. Check out the shortcuts and use them! It'll make life easier when the URL schema change again. :) --Aithine

New brief tutorial on how to restrict access to your page. --Aithine

Everything's moved over to the new server, so you should be able to update again without any problems if you're seeing the site now. :) --Aithine

I'm changing servers this weekend, so you may experience problems accessing the site for the next 24-72 hours. But the site will return shortly! :) --Aithine

I've added a few mods, including the not-quite-perfectly-working-yet modification the splits links into actual words with spaces. (There are bugs, but for the most part it makes things a bit easier to read.) I've updated the category and backlinks actions so that there are more display options.

Let me know if you have any problems or something doesn't work the way you expect it to so I can fix it, if possible. --Aithine

I've revised and expanded all the formatting information pages, which should help anyone just starting out. Let me know if you have any questions or if any of the pages aren't clear enough. --Aithine

Tan Ac Awyr is doing a panel on The Directorium at Escapade this weekend, so if you're going to be at the con and have any questions about how to start contributing to the site, attending her presentation is a great place to start. :) --Aithine

I've upgraded the wiki scripts. Let me know if you have any problems or something doesn't work the way you expect it to so I can fix it.

One of the new functions of the upgraded system is the ability to clone a page, which will make starting a new page much easier. :) For instance, to create a new fandom page, you can now go to the Fandom Template and click on the "clone this page" link. Then all you have to do is enter or change the basic info. --Aithine

Back from the dead. You folks have been busy! Excellent! Of course, there's still lots to be done. *g* Want to volunteer to help be an admin and make sure pages are staying fairly consistent? Email me∞, I'd love to have a couple more people to help. :) --Aithine

I am very, very sick, so I won't be answering questions until probably tomorrow. But you all are doing a magnificent job. :) --Aithine

Pointing out the obvious: new domain name (directorium.org), so be sure to update your links! (This also means the LJ syndication account has to change, so if you're keeping tabs on the site that way, you'll need to switch from directorium to directorium2.)

More site linking graphics (this time by Mlle Manon)!

Confused about how category links should be used? Read through the Meta Categories page. --Aithine

Update the second: add some terms to the Glossary! We haven't even begun to touch on all the weird acronyms that're out there. *vbg* Also, another update to the FAQ, explaining why it's best to have one internal page for a single-fandom archive for people to link to, rather than multiple external links all over the place.

Updates: beautiful little banners to put on your site and link back to The Directorium, courtesy of the marvelous Clare Chew, and some new dos and don'ts on the FAQ. Please be sure to read the updates!

Pimpage folks, we need pimpage! Make announcements (with permission, of course, yadda yadda) on LJs, websites, lists, etc. Let people know this resource is here! --Aithine

There are a bunch of new categories that have been added in the last few days: Company, Doujinshi, How To, Publisher, Recs, Sports, Vids, and various states, provinces and countries (to help folks find others in their area) to name a few.

There are also lots of new fandom pages and listings! Excellent job, everybody! :) --Aithine

Update the second: ok, I lied (but only sorta), one quick heads up. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here. --Aithine

I do have to work today :( so just a quick FYI that any more emails sent to me won't be answered until this evening. I'll make some changes and clarifications to the FAQ and other site use pages this evening as well. Thank you to all the folks who have started filling in pages! --Aithine

Basic pages for many of the fandoms are up so folks know what to link to, but we've really only just begun. Feel free to add information to the fandom pages as needed to make them more useful! Many thanks to Veronica, De, Tiriel and Clare Chew for their assistance in getting many fandom pages up. *g* --Aithine

We're open for business! Please be sure to check the fandom page before adding new fandoms so we don't have any duplication. :) And remember, you can always email me∞ if you have any questions about anything. --Aithine
