A new chapter

Paul and I are excited to share our most significant improvement yet.

Premium is now open for signups for the first time in a year, with a new integration with PayPal.

The site has a major visual refresh (while keeping the same navigation system), along with a number of accessibility and usability improvements.

The /poets page is no longer a placeholder. It's now a place to discover new poets and recognize top contributors. The home dashboard pulls in highlights from it, and on future visits, you'll see a new section telling you what's happened since you were last here.

The poem page is calmer, making it easier to get lost in reading. Poem submission is streamlined.

For the premium members whose support keeps Neopoet free for everyone, we have a treat: a redesigned profile page with three layouts to choose from — anthology, timeline, or studio, and the ability to pick curated profile colors. 

We also did some technically complex backend work to enable the next update. This will restore thousands of poems from 2007–2010 that were previously lost. If you've been around since then, I hope you enjoy reading your old work, and seeing voices that in some cases are no longer with us.
