It has been too long, I think, since we gave a "state of the nation" update to the readers of this site. Let me remedy that today by telling you what has been happening and what will be happening at Discerning Reader.
We recently completed a complete overhaul of the behind-the-scenes software. This also involved moving to a new web host. This new software gives us all kinds of great new abilities and makes all of the day-to-day tasks much easier. We are still learning to use it but can already see that it will bring us many benefits. Now that the software has been updated, we can see that we should also make a few design updates. We hope to complete that before the calendar ticks over to a new year. We anticipate making only small design changes with nothing too major or structural. Still, these designs should help with the site's readability and functionality.
Beginning in 2009, we hope to update the site on a more regular basis. It has been our habit to add new reviews on Tuesdays. Beginning next year we hope to add other content throughout the week. We cannot promise daily content, but do hope to update more regularly, at the very least. This should allow us to fill out some of the existing sections and to generate some great new content.
And this is where we are. We thank you for supporting this site with your visits. We are as commited to this site as we've ever been and look forward to serving you in 2009 and beyond.
In Christ,
Tim Challies
P.S. - The Upcoming Releases page has been updated with many of the notable books coming our way in 2009. That site will be updated throughout the year as we scour web sites, catalogs and other sources of information.
