So What's New at Parlor Press?

Posted 8 January, 2009 - 07:55 by David Blakesley

Our website, for one. As some of you have noticed, we have been in "maintenance mode" for a few days while we have completed the transition to a new website. The conversion is complete, and our site now offers many more possibilities for connecting authors, readers, editors, and others to each other across the network. Our e-commerce system is entirely new and more secure than ever, so we hope our readers find the process of buying books easier. The site is now run by Drupal (ver. 6.8), the excellent and powerful open source content management system. Our integrated e-commerce system is run by Ubercart, the Drupal module, which is also fantastic (we speak from considerable experience on this!). Our new payment gateway is PayPal, which gives customers numerous options. The whole site is now more closely knit and searchable so we expect that people will see just how much we have grown recently and in spite of the many obstacles facing scholarly presses recently.
