Again a week with very little done other than setting up two other forums and their graphics (see the affiliate links at the bottom of the portal page) and being a mommy first to my lil guy who was pretty sick for a few days.

The attached footer-bar was updated to include the link list and a matching color to the site.

AD's Facebook Fan page actually has a post on it regarding the "Showcase Your Talents" thread.

Talks have somewhat begun with one of our members about his starting to post up some gfx work for free downloads, but nothing concrete as of yet.

Not a whole lot got done this week, forum-wise anyway, but here's the short list:

• Background and header finalized - many thanks go to Watari for his constructive criticism and precise feedback

If you would like to see the actual font, you can download it from dafonts.com.

The site has been resubmitted for a follow-up review based upon the last review. We most likely won't resubmit for another review until after we've reached 100 members (again) and have a minimum of 25 active users a day.

The chatbox has been relocated to its own page, with some criticism, but with more positive responses.

The wibyia toolbar has been updated to include a pop-up games board, and will have a links menu (once they get the glitch worked out) to include the areas of the board that are currently only li...
