elfsSo, I have bought a co-lo. It was pretty cheap, and I don't make any promises about it's efficiency or reliability, but I am hoping it'll be faster than the site at Drizzle. The official opening date will be July 1st, at the current schedule, provided no further disasters happen between now and then. Along with the move I'm hoping to update the look and feel of the website, and provide some more interesting functionality to the system.
The obvious answer to all the questions I'm about to ask is "Just provide it and see if anyone uses it," but I'd like to get a general feel: Would you like to see a Wiki for the Pendorverse (and should there be one Wiki for the Pendorverse and another for the Aimee' series)? Should I move my blog there and use something more familiar, like Wordpress? I'll have 3GB of storage rather than 10MB (yes, that's what I'm limited to) so there will be room for other formats (PDF? PalmDoc? What else?) as well as complete ZIP collections in those formats? How about an RSS feed of the story index, so you'll know when there's a new one easily? Would you guys use a forum to discuss the stories, or not?
The question really comes down to: what should I spend my time establishing on the new server?

And if you want less flipping back and forth, you always have the option of using your browser's "tabs" feature. Open each story in a new tab. That way you still have the story list open, and it's YOU that's in control of how you do your reading, not Elf. Web browsers are supposed to empower the user, not force them into any particular way of viewing the content.
