Hello dear readers.

Without any more fanfare and further ado I would like to announce the new site redesign + forum. I have been working to bring you this for many months now and am very excited to see it finally here. I warn you however, there may be flaws in the system – bugs as yet unfound – so please feel free to look around and check to see and then to let me know – whipup[@]gmail.com. Also the forum, a few testers have already been in there but we want you to give it a go and see how you like it. You will also notice sponsorship /ads in the second sidebar, unfortunately this has become necessary to continue to be able to bring you this community site and forum so please feel free to help out.

A few thanks are necessary, first to my husband Rob who has tested bugs and fixed problems and got the whole thing running smoothly, to my brother Jon who has helped out where he can in between new babies and to Ann Benoit for the banner design (tweaked a bit by me…). To the fabulous authors , contributers and readers – thank you for continuing to keep this site vibrant and strong and interesting.

Great redesign! I love the header and joined the forum a little while ago. :)

It looks fantastic Kathreen! I love the clean look of it, although perhaps a colour slightly less bright than bright white might be less harsh on the eyes? Just a suggestion.
