This is a sneak peek at the new article view (click the image to enlarge). As you can see, the title and text will appear much like they do on the current site. The banner image will now be 616×200 (actually probably more like 616×300) instead of the previous 450×250 (a little wider, but not quite as tall). You’ll also get to see where you are in relation to the home page — that’s right above the title.

One of my favorite things about the Linoluna theme is the info box on this article view. You’ll get to see the author, publish date, section (category), # of views, # of comments, link to print, and link to email. There will also be a share button to send the page to various social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. And I will have a Recommend function — probably a heart icon that you can click — which will generate a Top Rated list on the home page. This is a slightly different take on the current ratings methods. It will be easy to switch at the last minute, so let me know what you think about the single recommend versus five-star ratings.

Also, if you click the author’s name, it will take you to an author page with everything they’ve ever published and a biography! That means I’m going to have contributors make author accounts on the site as soon as I set it up at Supraterranean.com.

Stay tuned for more updates! I’m excited!

(p.s. – All this is subject to change, so don’t get mad if something does…)
