Our goal is to have the best online site for Soaring related articles on the web.  We have had a spectacular first 18 months with over 700 posts created and we work hard on the presentation of the site look and feel, the quality of the content, navigation on the site, daily emails to alert our readers of new posts, … the list goes on.

Usually, we just do these things in the background and don’t say much about the changes.   We do receive feedback from some of our readers and we adjust more.  However, most of the changes come just because we want to improve.

Over the next several weeks, we will be rolling out some changes that we think you will like.  Here are some highlights so you can be on the lookout for the changes:

1. Re-organized menu structure.  Actually, we have already started this but more changes are coming that we believe will help you navigate and browse past posts.
2. Many more Help pages to support our readers in creating posts, photo galleries, etc.  We have several contributors already; however, we really want anyone with a desire to contribute to feel free to do so and have the information at hand to tell them how.
3. New methods for displaying images and galleries in more appealing formats.  We have been fortunate to receive very nice photos and we want to create absolutely the best environment for you to view them.
4. Indexes of all posts to make it easier to browse posts by Category.  These indexes will be available from the main menu.
5. More cross-posts from other soaring related sites so that you can find out more about what is going on just by visiting one site — the Cafe!
6. Finally, we are working on a better way to subscribe to our Daily Digest of posts.  We have been looking into this for a while — it is not a trivial problem.  Our goal is to let you manage your subscription more easily, opting in and out using a link in the email sent to you, and provide the ability to have some control over which content you receive.

As always, we value your feedback.  So, if you have ideas of what you would like to see just drop us a note.
