New features for Drivl

Published on 22/1/07 in Technology

We've upgraded Drivl with a few new features. And no, one of them is not a feature to remove the Drivl logos from the Celebrity Nudity Awards article.

We've been running Drivl for a little while now, and have decided to take the time and add some enhanced features to the site. It's mostly a bunch of little stuff, but we think it will help the site grow. Sorry though, none of the new features will make you write any funnier.

We now email you when your submitted article is moderated by our editors and moved to the Front Page, Page 2, or sadly, rejected. No more rappidly hitting F5 on your Posts Queue page.
The "Editors Favorites" section over there on the right is now, actually, our favorites. It used to just be the most recent Front Page posts, but now we actually choose the articles that show up over there.
The former Best Of page was calulated using an algorithm that could best be described as...crap. I enhanced it, so it now takes in to account a large number (5) of factors. No, I'm not telling you what they are.
On each article page, we've added some "embed" code that you can copy and paste on your MySpace, Blog, or anywhere else that will take HTML code. That way, if you're feeling so inclined to promote an article or ours, you can be super-lazy and just use our premade link.
Your user profile now has more info. And by "more," I mean 3 new things! Your biography, location website. Hells yes! The member profile page now looks a hell of a lot better too, so enjoy that as well.

That's it. Now go enjoy your Christmas kids. Oh, and email me if you find any weird bugs or errors.
