Adrian has sadly left the Soap Heaven editorial team but will still continue with technical aspects. All of us would like to thank Adrian for the time and effort he has contributed to the site and wish him good luck with his web hosting in the future. In his place Alan Shade joins us in Februaury. Alan is a keen soap fan and is known amongst the soapnet community. We continue our ties with the Uk-Am Connexion as both of us are list members. This new phase of Soap Heaven is exciting and although Alan will need to settle in we are certain he has all the right ingrediants to join Soap Heaven. This shouldn't affect the site much but if it does - we are sorry! good luck Adrian. Welome Alan!
We're a lucky bunch! Our site is a finalist in the UKTV Site of the Year Awards for 1997 in the category Best WebSite Devoted to Soaps.We're up against the official Coronation Street and Brookside pages, and an unofficial Corrie site. It would be great if you all could vote for us, so if you want to, pop along to The UKTV SotY97 Voting Page and cast your vote for us - hey, why not vote in the other categies while you're there. And if you're in a voting mood, vote in our Soap Heaven Awards (if you haven't already!)
We've had to make some design changes to the site. When adding the new section (SiteNews), we discovered that to add it, we'd have to add a link to each and every page. Well, this is obviously too much! So, we changed the "Side Bars" on each page (except the Index Page). Although, it isn't as striking, it serves its purpose.
We are looking for new columnists and/or writers for the site. If you are interested, then please email us and tell us all about yourself and what you'd like to bring to the site. Also if any of you wish to write a cyber soap - give us a bell and we can host it here for large circulation.
Soap Heaven has been featured in a report about CyberSoaps in the Scottish newspaper, The Scotsman. A reporter from the paper phoned Andy and conducted an interview with him, which was the primary feature of the article. To see a scan of the article, go here or to see a transcript of the article, go here.
We are developing a new game for the site - Fantasy Soap League. However, to do this, we'll need to recruit a volunteer. If you religiously watch all the soaps, then you're an ideal candidate! If you think you're up to it, email either Andy or Adrian and we'll sort something out.
