Dear and Gentle Reader: Wayves is extremely pleased to announce a major step of in our publishing history. This July we launched our new Facebook page, allowing us to communicate with you as Wayves, while keeping the site accessible to you. Readers are still welcome to post articles of interest to our community.
Now we want to introduce you to our new website! We hope this new publishing venture will enhance the ways in which we as LGBTQ Atlantic Canadians communicate with each other. Wayves wants to increase opportunities for us to share our stories, build bridges across provincial, regional and cultural boundaries, and bring a whole new generation of readers and writers into the Wayves family.
One significant change we’ll all be adjusting to meet, readers and contributors alike, is that Wayves will be able post stories and respond to events much more quickly. Essentially, we will be switching from an 11/12-month news cycle, to something much closer to a cycle of 52/52 weeks.
The new site is very much a work in progress. We will continue working on the design and function over the months ahead. We’ll soon be adding features like the ability to comment on articles, and enhancing the way in which we display photographs. We’ll be changing menus and tags so you can target your interests, whether they’re regional, cultural, political, or reflective of your personal identity within our rainbow community.
We want you to share your ideas and thoughts with us as we continue to make improvements. You are also a part of the process! Click here to let us know what you think. We’re excited about this; we think it has great potential for all of our communities. We hope you like it too, and we thank you for your patience as we continue to work on improvements.
