INFORMATION RE SOCIAL NETWORK - LATEST UPDATES
TO ALL MEMBERS:
Please consider this your INFORMATION BOX in the future. I don't have time to send individual e-mails everytime something changes, and I will also send out ALERTS to all members when we have an issue of some sort.
Please check this box often as there could be something you have missed and need to know!

When you post a photo, even if you don't do a complete description, please post your name on there somewhere, so people will know where to look under members for your website. This will help you get the credit for your beautiful and unique creations in the long run.

We need to limit photographs. So, I am giving you the opportunity to choose 20 photos (as long as we are under 200 members) to feature and the rest need to be taken off. It slows down the server, it clogs up the server, whatever. I would love for all of us to display everything we want to, but it is not fair to other members to use more than your allotted number of photos. You are welcome to delete photos at the beginning of the week and add 20 new ones. Whatever works for you. Please do try to fill in some info with each photo, especially your name on your page, as someone may want to know where the item is and maybe because they want to buy it. We want them to know exactly which member's site the article is from, so that they do not get frustrated and you lose a sale. We are like a large store open to the public for viewing.

Also, if we don't cut down on photos it will limit our membership. Don't want to do that. We are still growing. So, please understand I am going to have to make my own decisions to delete some things I don't want to either. We always have our website addresses up, so people can wander over into that area to browse until you add your next group of pictures. b>

If you have an idea for a "group" please send it to me and let's get it set up. We have several different groups of artisans now, so if we want to set up groups, such as "Jewelry Design", Suppliers, Vintage, etc. and someone wants to take charge of their group please let me know.

PLEASE REMEMBER THESE ARE THE RULES TO INVITING NEW MEMBERS TO OUR SITE: To determine who you can invite, their abilities in design have to meet the criteria of having a webpage or a blog on-line somewhere they sell their items, and it can be anything handmade from jewelry designers, vintage jewelry, quilters, anyone who does sewn items, candle makers, soap makers, etc. but remember it has to be handmade, or it has to be something that a supplier would sell to someone on our page or to people who make handmade items.

Each of us have reached out to someone on-line to buy something we don't know how to make from time to time, so if you were pleased with the handmade item invitie them to join. Check blogs that you run across in your travels. If the blog owner has no problem with you inviting their guest artists, invite them to join our page.

Have a wonderful day and God Bless!
Sharon Hightower/Site Owner, Organizer, Manager
