It's been a busy couple of weeks, Debs has been doing a show and I have one coming up next week so it's been all hands on deck there.

I will be getting to your submissions and join notes over the weekend. Member submissions will be first on the list then onto our new members and adding them to the members journals. The gallery CSS I was working on hasn't quite gone to plan yet, as it's my first time coding one I feel like I'm learning all over again.

As with the idea of revamping the members shops and how we display them, the poll shows that most of you are not sure followed by a large majority of yes'. For those of you that aren't sure do you have any questions about how the system would work would you like to keep the current list in the shout board and give the new system a trail run?

Hope you are all well, and look forward to meeting all out new members and checking out your great submissions.

Hello Everyone!

Quite literally there is alot of NEW stuff going on around here.

Firstly you will notice the new CSS, there are still a couple of bugs in it but I'm sure they will be sorted mostly just misbehaving links not being the colour or font they should be.

Secondly there is a new admin. *Scarlet-Impressions is going to be helping out a lot sorting out some things and has a few funky ideas.

Hello Everyone My name is Scarlet and I will be helping out in general with JC, I am a passionate jewellery maker and have been for nearly 10 years
I really enjoy working with wire and adore looking for new beads
As well as what I will be doing here on JC I write jewellery critiques for devcrit, run a weekly news article about jewellery trends and a monthly crafty challenge for everyone to get stuck into.
As well as jewellery I have a little experience in CSS, stamp making, avatars. but give me anything to have a go at and I may just give it a try
You may notice from that I am a general community addict when it comes to dA, I love this place and hope you enjoy it to.

On with the show...

One of the new ideas is that the members shop section could be having a major make over.
head on over to the poll to cast your vote on this idea.
Members submit profiles to the club to advertise themselves and their shops.
_{There will be a template for the profiles if the idea goes ahead.}
JC submits your profile and sorts it into a specific gallery just for members profiles, which will also have a module on the front page.
Members details links to shops etc. will be placed in the artist comments of the profile deviation.

I shall sign off now, looking forward to meeting you all and having loads of jewellery fun.
