It’s a pretty darn good start, especially from cold! We don’t have any granular listener data at the moment, it’s simply not something we thought about including in V1 code. Your dashboard currently shows total listeners, we can't break it down. However, we could do that in V2, so if you’d...

Listener numbers are looking pretty good, too!

Yes Mark, Rachel is right. Direct link: https://litopia.com/my-seminars/the-joy-of-synopses/ But don't try it for an hour or two, we're moving all the videos (large files!) to a new location.

Worry not. I‘m using the Huddle, as I usually do, to test-drive this presentation, which will soon land as a how-to video.

Every member of Litopia can blog. But why should you? How do you start? And... what the deuce should you blog about…? I’ll be covering all this, and quite a lot more, in tomorrow’s Huddle. Hope to see you there :)

After a 49-year wait, melodic progressive rock band Stoggam are finally releasing their début album, Expecting Different Results. The group originally formed in 1977 under the name Maggots and, although they never officially split, they spent nearly five decades quietly drifting in different...

In the same period, 37k of those unique visitors were from bots. So you could subtract that from the total unique visitor count. But even having done that, the stats still look encouraging. Bots, btw, analyze for that period as below:

Yes, I know! That’s where the newsletter comes in. It’s the only way you can be certain of knowing who they are, or at least knowing their email addresses. Btw, we’re starting to get some pretty wild visitor numbers now to the main Litopia home page. I’ve set up a (temporary) display that...

Let me give you another running update of what’s happening behind the scenes. We’re still in beta mode, although it’s a public beta, meaning that everything is now public facing – your blogs, your newsletters, your podcasts, your author page, and so on. The past week has been entirely focused...

Just to update you on what’s currently going on behind the scenes. We’ve had a lot of work to do on the audio side of things (podcasts and the “Hear Me Read It” button feature on your blog posts). You won’t actually see anything new, this is all functional stuff, to make your audio faster to...

You’re so on the money with this. What they’re talking about is hardly new – we’re all familiar with the “Shakespeare Syndrome”, i.e. being forced into the academic study of an author almost (*) invariably ruining the potential for later-life enjoyment. (*) “Almost” because an inspired teacher...

I tend to agree. “Prizes” can mean a whole load of different things, from completely legit & prestigious to totally bogus and scam-worthy. I’ve known one or two authors who supplemented their income quite nicely by running “prizes”… one of them charged quite hefty entry fees and all the entries...

Gawd. Depressing :(

Yes, Updates have taken over from profile posts – they do exactly the same thing, but have a much wider visibility (e.g. over the past month, we averaged 26k unique visitors a day on Litopia.com. This trend is rising very nicely). What we don’t have yet is full two-way compatibility between the...

Sorry, Rachael :) This is scheduled for action but… we do have a ton of essential work to do first. Please bear with us. P.
