Good morning Los Angeles!

The following is BrooWaha's first newsletter!
BrooWaha has been online for about 2 months now and we thought it would be a good idea to give you a little update of what's keeping us busy.


Latest news from BrooWaha:

Traffic to BrooWaha doubled since September:
The traffic to www.broowaha.com has more than doubled since last month and we are confident that it will keep growing very rapidly in the next couple of months as well. One of our main goals is to give our authors as much exposure as possible and we will continue to work hard in persuance of this goal.

Broowaha is now fully indexed by Google
BrooWaha is fully indexed by Google now. What does it mean for you? The articles you write may now be read by millions of Google users. Just try and type your author name or the title of one of your articles in Google and you'll see for yourself ;-)


BrooWaha cited on other websites
The article "Z for Danielewski" by Epileptic Guinea Pig has been cited in the official website of Only Revolutions, Mark Z. Danielewski's latest book. We hope to see a lot more of your articles cited by major websites in the future!


Print Feature
If you want to show your work to your friends or even potential recruiters, please use our new Print feature located at the bottom right of the articles; it will format the article in a printer-friendly version.


Watch an author
This feature has been available for a while but is overlooked by most users. If you want to be notified by email each time your favorite author writes a new article, all you need to do is go to his/her profile page and click on "Watch this author". It's that easy!


RSS
BrooWaha now has an RSS feed that you can find at the bottom of any page of BrooWaha. By subscribing to this feed, you'll be notified each time a new article is published. To use this feature we recommend you download Firefox 2.0.


Spell-Check for your articles
Firefox 2.0 (the recommended browser above) also has a built-in spell check that will help you catch your spelling mistakes before you submit an article to the editor. A great tool for your authoring needs!


Tshirts, hats, mugs, stickers
Go to http://www.cafepress.com/broowaha and support our effort by getting one of our new t-shirts or other merchandise!

Automatic login
No need to manually log in every time, you will be logged in automatically when you access the website!


Delete draft, cancel pending submission
Caught a spelling mistake in your article after you submitted it to the editor? You will soon be able to cancel your submission and work on your draft some more before it is published.


More statistics
Average article length, number of views and ratings, and how you stand compared to other authors.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to
your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?
