Welcome to both Nolcha and Raymond as editors

@Nolcha Fox and @Raymond Huffman have agreed to help with editorial duties around here. You may have noticed their "Editor" badges. Sorry I haven't welcomed them sooner; things have been hectic in my life lately.

Anyway, Nolcha has been creating lots of front page features, and Raymond is just getting his feet wet with learning the ins and outs of things.

So thanks to both of them, and again, welcome.

Thank you, Jay!

And welcome to you, Raymond!
 
Raymond asked whether there was an easy way to see what's already been published. There's not really, other than searching on the front page.

What I think we should do is create a new board on the forum called "Front Page Work" that editors can move threads into. The only reason I haven't done that is that it would be an extra step for editors, and I don't think they want to do that. I actually did create that board at one point, and it was a bit of a chore to move the thread of work that had been featured into that, so it often didn't get done.

The advantage, though, would be that we could make that board public, since the work has then already been published, and the reason I keep the forum nonpublic is so that writers can try out work on the editors here before submitting it elsewhere. Another advantage would be that nonmembers could see the discourse surrounding a front page poem without actually joining the site.

Older publications are still available on the Calendar. Looking for a post on the calendar isn't always the easiest.
