Animal Toy Blog changes

AnimalToyForum · August 25, 2019, 06:17:56 PM

This is a thread to announce changes to the Animal Toy Blog. There are a few features I'll be adding shortly, including author pages, and links, and so on.

Just now I added the figure star rating system.

AnimalToyForum · August 25, 2019, 07:08:47 PM

I've added a new place-holding title banner. Featured figures are subject to change!

AnimalToyForum · August 26, 2019, 03:14:40 PM

I've added links to the side bar and Links page. The list is a bit thin, though, any suggestions for additional links we could add?

I'm assuming that the ATB's menu will eventually have company pages just like the DTB's, once there are enough reviews?

Yes, I'll add company page links to the top menu once we have enough reviews to make it worthwhile. But, actually, the company pages are automatically generated category pages, so you can already go to them from the category filter menu.

I know, it's just nice to see them in a menu. Gives you an idea right away as to which companies are the most popular and prolific.

Agreed, I'd add menu links in due course.

I'll certainly be adding to the CollectA and Safari categories in due course!

Great!

Another change, I've fleshed out the links section. I've surely missed some important relevant sites so please flag any I've missed.

Because it was attributed to 'Guest Reviewer'. Fixed that, now it is attributed to you.
