The site will be down tonight from 10-11PM EST. The ISP is doing some firewall upgrades. Sorry about the inconvenience. They really suck, there are is starting to be so much downtime, and they give me very little notice. Someday when, we have some sort of income source for the site, we can get a new server or move the supercomp to somewhere with a faster connection.

Now anyone logged into the site can post to the news journal. Previously, only certain users had access to this journal. As requested by Rachel, I have moved the news journal (the former elmwood journal) to a more prominent location. This allow people to easily check out what is going on by clicking on the news link at the top.

It will also alert people to check for upcommming events or important site information when they see the news jorunal in the top ten list.

I would like to ask that the users please keep postings on this journal releveant to current events or site information. I will continue to use this journal to post information about updates to the site. For all other types of postings, please you your own journal.

I just asked Jeeves, "What is the elmwood strip?" and our site came up number three. We are moving to the top on every search engine. I guess the time has finally come.

I also wrote to Artvoice to ask if they could have either a link or an article/advertisement about us. It's hard to get things going without a budget, but one year after the inception, we are here still and stronger than ever.

If any of you have an ideas for advertising please contact paul.
