Added Features to Sideboard

Jeff Donais

Hello folks,

Recently, we've been testing a new feature for Sideboard Online. The first time a card name appears within an article, we provide a link to the card image. Each card name that contains a link will be highlighted in a brownish-red color that will not interfere with the smooth reading of the article. Decklists and other lists of cards will not contain links, in order to prevent overwhelming the reader with too many links. These links are "smart" links because they are added by hand and not just added automatically whenever the name of a Magic card appears.

Below are three samples of articles with this feature:

    Alex Shvartsman's Week in Review
    Brian Kibler's review of Blazing Spectre in Standard
    Alex Shvartsman's review of Netherhaups

We have also opened a new section of Article Collections. This section will help you find all of the same type of article in one place and will allow for easier browsing of past articles. So far, we've compiled the Week in Review, Wise Words and Magic Invitational player reports. We'll be adding more compilations later. The compilations can be accessed easier by clicking on the Table of Contents link on the left navigation bar, then the Article Collections link.

If you have other ideas for improvements to Sideboard, please let us know on the Sideboard Message Board.

Take Care,
