We're happy to announce that we've added new features!

The first one is a personalized news feed. When you login, you'll be able to see notifications right on your news feed.

Here are the types of notifications you'll see:

• A Book Country member gives you feedback on a manuscript you’ve posted.
• A writer posts a new version of a manuscript that you’ve reviewed.
  
• You have a new connection.
• Someone posts in a discussion board where you have a subscription.

We've also added persistent login. That means you have the ability to stay logged in, even if you close your browser.

We’ve been squashing bugs as they’ve come up, but we wanted to let you know about a big one: When you came to Book Country from an email, and you weren’t logged in, sometimes you’d get a white screen after logging in. We’ve fixed that problem so it shouldn’t trouble you again.

We've explained what to expect in the news feed, as well as our thinking behind the design in this post.
