Hello SmartGirls!

It's nearing the end of summer, and SmartGirl has seen a lot of changes!

SG Authors
The stories and chapters are easier to navigate, and you can leave comments. Plus, we've got several new stories by authors including Shanice, Colleen, Marissa, and more to come!

SmartGirl Peer Advice
Newly minted "Issues," this section is also easier to navigate. We've divided up issues into different categories so it's easier to find the advice that you want, and we've also added comments to this section.

SmartGirl Boy Advice
Just like SG Authors and Issues, we've split this up into an easier-to-navigate structure and made it possible for visitors to leave comments.

Reviews
This section of the site saw a major facelift, with prettier sortable tables and an easier-to-read individual review page. We've made it easier to skip from review to review, and we've added the ability to comment a review. Not only that, but we rewrote our review surveys with all-new questions that give better information and make more sense.

About Us
We've updated the site map so you can find whatever you need more easily. We've also updated the contact form so that you can get ahold of us even if you don't have an email address. Or, if you do, leave a message and we can get back to you!

The Redesign
Things are really starting to come along on the redesign. We hope to be able to show it to everyone soon! You'll be able to see exactly where your submissions are in moderation, edit your submissions if we reject them, and you can sign up for automated emails once you're accepted so that you can see your review right away.

Here's looking forward to the fall, to pretty scarves, to hot chocolate, and more great things on SmartGirl!

Sincerely,
Boowee

The SmartGirl Team

Inspirational Insight

You don't need to pretend to be someone's friend. A friend likes you for you, not for what you wear or how rich you are.
