misc news
Thank you everyone for your terrific support of the new forum and the new website. I see that the new design does not have unanimous support – but having tweaked the white background a little after your comments I hope that has made a difference. The forum is rocking along – don’t forget to introduce yourself to be in the running to win one of four books that have recently been reviewed here. Other discussions you might want to get in on include ideas for feature posts on whipup, controversial topics and comment moderation, and a couple of posts on selling your wares – how to do it and is it worthwhile?
You do need to register and login to be able to post topics or reply to topics on the forum. If you are already registered with whipup then you can use the same login details at the forum – you do not need to re-register over there if you have already registered at whipup.
Also you will notice some advertising has been made available on whipup and the forum. Advertising has become necessary to keep up with running costs and in order to make whipup even bigger and better for you – so I hope you will support our sponsors who are all great crafty and indie businesses.
For those who have missed the previous posts on contributing at whipup. We have introduced submission guidelines for those readers who would like to submit a story or article or tutorial. We have a thematic guide but if you have something outside of this that just cannot wait please contact us with your idea.
Submissions now being accepted for October, November and December
* October: Selling – entrepreneurs
* November: Public crafting
* December: Holiday crafts
Submissions must be new — not previously shown in another mag or site or on your own website or blog. Once posted on Whip Up – of course you are welcome to link to the article with an image. And after a month you are free to do as you wish with the tutorial or article, which includes submitting it elsewhere or self publishing.

Thanks Kathreen! It looks much better – the white background isn’t as migraine-inducing!
Still have to check out the forum though – can’t wait (have to do that at home not work).
