Welcome to the new, and hopefully vastly improved, Birder’s Library. I have built this new version using the wonderful WordPress blogging software. While I suppose that technically makes this site a blog now, the purpose and basic functionality of the site has not changed. But it will make it much more convenient and easy for me to post reviews and updates.
And it also allowed me to add some really cool features that I wanted to include from the beginning:
- Reader’s Rating – site users can now give the item their own rating, in the standard 5 star format.
- Comments – readers can leave a response to reviews and any other post. Feel free to comment on the review itself, on the item being reviewed, or anything else related to the post.
- Subscribe to posts and/or comments – posts and comments are available on a RSS feed. You can use special sites or software to view them, as explained here. If you subscribe you will never miss a post and won’t have to keep checking the website for new content.
So take a look around and test out some of the new features. Then please let me know how you like the changes. And most definitely make me aware of any issues or problems you have viewing or using the site. You can do so by submitting a response to this post, or by emailing me at the address on the contact page.
