GGTL has been evolving a bit lately, with us adding more features to make your surfing experience on GGTL that little bit easier and more fun. So, here's a general run-through of the changes, just so you know what features you have at your disposal.
- Sidebar: The sidebars have been updated to make all our new regular columns, such as NewsBites and Geeky But Cool, as well as special articles such as Game of the Year, easily accessible via just one click.
- Followers: If you have a Blogger account or a Google account, you can follow GGTL and get all the latest articles directly to your Blogger Dashboard or Google Reader as they go live. You'll never miss a thing again.
- Commenting: Ever wanted to get involved in a discussion, but didn't want to go to the hastle of navigating multiple pages to post a comment? You don't have to any more - we've added a form at the bottom of every post page to make commenting easier and quicker. It's also a direct line to the editors at GGTL, so please get involved and we hope to speak to you soon.
- New banner images: New banner images have been created for our regulars, so they're now instantly recognisable. Particularly like Grimmy's Geeky But Cool posts? Just look for the blue gradient banner. It's that simple, and works the same way for all our other regulars.
- Reactions: We've actually included this Blogger feature on the blog for a while now, but I thought I'd point it out just in case you hadn't noticed it. Reactions enables you to voice your opinion on a post without having to comment. It takes just one click, and you don't even have to reload a page. You can find Reactions at the bottom of every post; just click 'good', 'bad' or 'okay'.
- Backlinks: If you own a blog powered by Blogger and read a GGTL post, why not blog it? By just clicking on the 'Links to this post' link at the bottom of a post, you can link to any GGTL post on your blog. Be careful only to include a link to the post on GGTL, though, as copying the entire post without prior consent from us is naughty and we'll get all huffy with you and ask you to take it down.
So, as you can see, we're always striving to make your time on GGTL more enjoyable and hastle-free, and we will continue to do so.
