Hello everyone!

Thanks for visiting MahShelf! We have been most impressed with the recent number of visits from our users. In this month we will keep releasing even more cool new features for reading and sharing digital comics online.

So, first off, we are extremely happy with the feedback we’ve known so far. We are determined to make digital comics become the most popular trend on the internet, and also, to turn digital comics publishing into a profitable business. That said, please continue to let us know if there’s something you’d like us to improve. Just try suggesting something to us, and we’ll prove how much we value your ideas and opinions.

Anyway, back to the new changes. Last month, we’ve added many improvements to the site. Some major ones are:

• New explore page and reading trend feature
  

We’ve been receiving many uploads each day. While this is really exciting, we realized that many visitors don’t know where to start reading or discuss. Therefore, we bring you the new explore page, which can be accessed by clicking on the “view all” link besides the “Books currently being read” in main page. From there, you can easily find the most recent, most viewed, most rated and most discussed books.

Also, main page of MahShelf has a feature called “Reading trends“, which shows particularly topics that are  favored by other readers.

• Reading history
  

Suddenly forget what you’ve finished reading? You can use the “History” feature to help you quickly turn to the books you’ve read. This feature only available when signed-in.

• Book updates
  

When you subscribe to other users (Or add them as friends), you will receive notificatons of their new uploads in your “Account” page.

• Send message
  

Sending personal messages to other users in MahShelf is now possible.

• Display name
  

So, sometimes you just want to change your nickname, eventhough you don’t want to change the account name. Now you can modify it from your Account page, in the “Profile” tab.

Another release is here! This time we have enabled a lot of new features and modifications for the Flash book reader. Things are getting better and better as we come up with new features each day to make reading online books, comics and magazines more fun and convenient.

You can now add other users as friends, put comments in their profiles and subscribe to others’ bookshelves to receive notification each time they upload a new book. You’ll have to watch your own account page for the notifications, though. Later you will be able to receive emails whenever your friends upload new books, so you can be sure that you won’t miss any interesting stuff.

Also, uploading books is a lot faster now, as you can save template of the book’s descriptions before pressing “Upload book” button to publish a book. This feature is super useful for anyone who wants to upload multiple books with the same description (most likely chapters from the same series).

Last but not least, did you notice that our Flash reader has changed a lot? Take a look at this screen-shot:

See the loading icon besides the full-screen button? It indicates that the other pages are being loaded so that after you finish with the current page, next pages are ready for you to read. After all pages of the book have been loaded, that icon will disappear. Neat, huh? Just wait, there will be more coming up next week; probably something you can embed into your own sites or blogs.

Summer is coming. Have fun people!
