This may be a little late for some of you, but TwiLOL has had a major makeover!  We’ve had some time to test out the new features, and so have you.  We’d like to thank those of you who emailed us and helped work out the little glitches.  Please continue to let us know about anything that’s not working right, or anything you’d like to see that might make the site work better for you.  We’re listening!  To prove it, here is a thank you to a few individuals in particular who have sent us extra love since the new site has been up.  This is for you, Jadey, newtonscricket, Jocasta, Kristol, Swestie, Savannah, Jen, Erika, and NotExactlyEdward:

 

Back to business.  Here’s an overview of the new features, in case you’ve missed them:

 
General Features:

Homepage (www.twilol.com) - Always shows the most recent post, and tells which page the post will be found on once it is bumped.

Affiliates – Become our affiliate!  If you’d like to help spread the TwiLOL happeez, use our buttons on your website and send us one of yours.  We lub frenz.

Post Features: 

Comments - You don’t have to login to comment, but if you are a frequent commenter, it will save you a lot of time.  To make a single comment and give us your opinion of a specific LOL, just click the comment link underneath the LOL on the lefthand side.  You can also login and have the site recognize you each time you visit the site.  Login with the widget on the sidebar.

LOL Ratings - You’ll see five stars underneath each LOL on the lefthand side.  Click the number of stars you give the LOL, and your score will be added into the average.  See which LOLs are rated highest in the widgets on the sidebar.

Retweet – If you want to share a LOL with Twitter friends, just click the retweet button underneath the LOL on the righthand side.  All it takes is a few clicks, and TwiLOL will hook up with your Twitter account.

Meebo – This is a seriously sweet feature.  You can share LOLs on Twitter, Facebook, IM, Yahoo, or email with a simple click-and-drag.  When you hover the mouse over a LOL, you will see the little “drag to share” instruction.

Click and drag the LOL, and you’ll see this:

Drop the LOL on one of those icons and you’ll be redirected automatically to where you can post it!  It is sweeeeeeet.

Sidebar Widgets:

My personal favorite – the TwiLOL Translator!  If you come across a lolspeak word that you don’t recognize, put it into our translator.  Make sure you’ve spelled it the same way that we did in our LOL.  The translator will then give you the English version of the word.  If our translator doesn’t recognize the word, please let us know and we’ll add it!

FanLOL Submission Form – This should make submitting fanLOLs much easier.  You can either submit a LOL that you’ve made or found, or you can send us a quote and a picture and we can make the LOL for you.  Even if all you have is a quote with no picture, send it!  We are always happy to get ideas from you.  We’ll credit you when your LOL is posted.

 Tag Cloud – This is an easy way to find your favorite LOLs based on frequently used tags that we put on our images.  You might want to quickly view all of our LOLs from the baseball scene in Twilight, or all of the LOLs that use the common lolspeak word “srsly.”  Just find the tag in the cloud and click!  (Hint:  Words are spelled correctly unless they are a common lolspeak word or phrase.  Common tags are locations, scenes, props, people, and lolspeak words.)

Twitter Feed – TwiLOL isn’t the only place we are funneh.  View a feed of our tweets, or follow us on Twitter by clicking the link.  (Our feed and Twitter links are also available via our Twitter link in the top navigation bar.)

 

New Moon Update:

Lastly, we wanted to let you know that we’re just about peeing in our pants to show you our New Moon LOLs.  The time is getting closer – looks like the release will be in March.  We may decide to sneak peak a New Moon LOL or two to some special viewer…just stay tuned.  And don’t worry, you’re not alone:
