Articles on technology and writing, such as eReaders. Software and hardware columns might also be tagged as technology related.
During the MWSA Conference, I will be sitting at the Tech Talk Table. The table will be conveniently placed between conference rooms. Whatever questions you have, I'll do my best to answer them. While we want to focus on the MWSA website, I will also be answering questions about e-books, blogging, and software for writers.
We are now testing the MWSA website to improve support for smartphones and tablets. We know many members have portable devices, so we are trying to support everyone as best we can. There are some minor glitches still, but the site does work on iPhones and iPads. Please let us know if you experience any serious problems. There will always be little minor annoyances with smaller screens, though.

Being able to link directly to the Amazon database is one of the exciting new features of the MWSA website. However, there seems to be some confusion about the ASIN fields in our content forms and how those fields can be used. Also, there is a nice feature from Amazon that some people haven't discovered: inline Amazon links.
As 2011 comes to a close, I am adding the final few features to the MWSA website before our "official" launch. Today, I added a link to the MWSA Photo Galleries from the Navigation menu. The gallery is where photos from many MWSA events will be posted. This feature will make it easier for people to locate photos: the albums will be organized by event name and date.
