★ New features at SMITHTeens.com
To coincide with the Sept 1 launch of SMITH Magazine's newest book, I Can't Keep My Own Secrets: Six-Word Memoirs by Teens Famous & Obscure, XOXCO designed and built several new community features for the SMITHTeens site. We launched a brand new forum for the talkative teen memoirists, improved profiles, a smoother user experience for posting memoirs and comments, and an activity tracker that, for the first time in the site's history, gives it's members a way to see who is talking about their memoirs.
In the weeks ahead, we'll be expanding some of these features to include even more ways for the teens to connect with their friends and collaborate on creative projects. And, we'll be bringing some of this magic to the main SMITH site so that adult memoirists can also benefit!
