As summer draws to a close, we have a new beginning at Lulu Poetry. The new site is live and waiting for you to explore. I’m sure you have noticed the new design, but we have launched new features for you too!
1. Improved user registration: Registration is now based on email and password, so it is easier for you to log in and submit poems.
2. Editing and removal of poems: Poets can now edit and remove their own poems, after logging in.
3. Poet Profiles: Now every registered poet has a profile page where you can post your biography, and it shows a list of your poems, number of contests won, and the number of poems you have rated.
4. Improved search: Instead of just searching by a poet’s name, you can now find poems by title, author name, keywords, and tags.
5. Leaderboard Coming Soon: Visit our Leaderboard to see the current highest rated poems in the Daily, Monthly and Annual contests. Very soon, the Leaderboard will be running and it will update every day.
If you had registered at Lulu Poetry (or the old Poetry.com) before, you will need to update your registration information to log in to the site. First, go to the Claim Your Profile page. Then just enter the email address that you used to register, and click the Claim button. Instructions will be emailed to you, so that you can set a new password and access your poems.
If you do not have an email address associated with your old account, please email help@poetry.com with your full name and a link to your poems. Our support team can then help you set up a new registration.
More new features are in the works, and you should see additional improvements in the coming months. Please leave a comment if there is something else you would like to see on Lulu Poetry- we are always happy to consider your suggestions.
Thank you for helping us to build a great community!
