• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

I’m pleased to announce that you now have a new layout choice for your Author Page.

All Litopians - whether Platform Plus+ members or not - can have (and should have!) their own Author Page. It’s an investment in you and your writing. Do it now :)

Platform Plus+ members have a growing range of templates to choose from, and now have the option of another type of layout... Linear.

You can access all available templates and layouts from the “Edit” button on your Author Profile page.

Then click the “gear” icon and you’ll see various Page Settings.

Click the “Style” option then you’ll see all available templates and styles.

***​

Here’s what the Linear layout looks like when applied to our doughty (and somewhat grouchy) test member, Leo Nakamura.

The Linear layout keeps things simple; only one column for your readers to scroll through. All the same content that the Masonry layout displays is there, from your featured book right through to your updates and facts about yourself, but they are displayed one after another, in contrast to Masonry’s multi-column layout.

Switch layouts, and themes, as often as you want to!
