Books and Updates

Copies of the newest Harry Potter Book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling are in stores today. They're fairly hard to come by if you haven't reserved or preordered a copy in advance. I have yet to read it, but at the intensity with which my younger brother is concentrating on the book, it must be a very good read. I'll be cleaning up links and straightening out my plans so that I can put more of my focus on adding content to the site. I may not be moving the site to lycos.co.uk after all. They recently added two atrocious banner ads to every page and they're not very pretty. But I will continue to work on getting this site up to its best and hopefully, my dream of a payed host and domain name will come true...maybe even my own server ^_^. Well, see you all next update.

Switching Hosts

The site will be moving to http://members.lycos.co.uk soon. There isn't much there right now but you may want to bookmark it now and check there periodically because more, and more stuff will become available over the summer. This new account gives me the 50MBs that the US lycos once offered plus a 15MB e-mail account for you all to be able to send Fan Art, Fiction, etc. I'm mostly going to be working online during the process of the move. However I will link the homepage to the new message board so that you can all communicate with one another. while I'm working. Also, as the site gets slowly closer to being finished, new rules, goodies, and news may appear so keep on the look out for that. Also, I'm going to implement a new system of accepting art. Well, it won't be much different but I'm going to be raising the standards for the art (fiction, etc.) that will be actually displayed on the site. All other works that are not accepted for the actual say may be displayed on the message board freely. The only exception to this new policy will be the art that has already been submitted to me since before this message and any art that will be submitted by the first of June. So if you want your art on the main site without the harsh rules start sending it in now to cosmicglider@lycos.co.uk, do not send your submissions to any other email address on the site or they may get ignored or they may not arrive to my mailbox *some of the accounts have been deleted or I've forgotten about them, etc.* Well, I'll return as regularly as possible with up dates and goodies.

Rearranging

I've decided to start rearranging a few things since Angelfire no longer allows 50MBs and I still have over 50MBs in plans ~_^. I'm moving all image galleries to yahoo photos. Yahoo Photos gives 30 MBs for images and they make the thumbnails for you so it doesn't take up space on your account. This will be very helpful and I will be able to put a lot more images online. I am also rearranging the unrelated section so that there will only be on gray column on the page and drop boxes for all the different subjects.

Everything will still be accessable while I'm working with it (if it was already accessable). Other things will be working better that weren't very complete before. I've got my brother helping gather information.
