Thursday 5 April, 2007 Welcome to Openned. Version 2. Version 1 of Openned was a good site, but with the increasing diversity in both the form and format of the poetry submitted to us, we soon outgrew its capabilities. Now, with Version 2, and the incalculable help of web maestro Joe Davidian, we have created a website that allows us to focus on your writing. We have divided the site into five main sections: Blog: the home page will be the new home of the Openned blog. Nights: details of our upcoming readings, along with promotional materials. Press: we will be publishing work for purchase under the Openned press name, with the occasional free download thrown in for your delectation. Issue: we will be publishing Openned 'issues', a series of digital magazines in flux. There are more details on the issue page. Submit work / About / Links / RSS feed: find out how to submit work, more about us, links to websites, and information about the site's RSS feeds. We can now also accept any text or image file, video and audio files (in any format that can be played in Quicktime) and pdf files. See the submit work page for more information. If you have any information about readings, interesting websites, or poetry, please send them along for the Openned blog, with full credit to you. We hope you enjoy getting to know the new site, and look forward to receiving your work.
