I run a few RSS Feeds from members to advertise their stuff - cause' it's very good, and much better than my stuff. Add Features like Featured Photo, Featured Web Site, etc...and then use their photos as featured galleries just to display their stuff. I try to post stuff in the forums and ask for suggestions constantly to see what everyone wants.

One last thing. I'm a subscriber at Scripts4Ning - I'm not sure if you want to do that, but check it out - that's how I get all the drop downs. You can subscribe up to 10 Ning Networks for a monthly subscription fee. I don't mind, I just want everyone out there to enjoy the site. Eventually, I will be bringing ADS in when I get more members so that they can purchase AD Space for pennies. It'll be good for those people that want to advertise on more than just the one Network.

Ning is doing better with the Tabs though.

Does this help.

If you need to know how to do something - let me know. I've had a lot of practice with all of these Networks. WHEW!

At 5:17am on October 16, 2008, Beadeful said…: Gosh I may have to send some links to the hubby, since Christmas is coming up. I know I don't want to scimp on safety. Thanks for the link. I will be sure and pass it on (to the hubby, of course). Thanks again May.

At 10:54pm on September 8, 2008, Beadeful said…: Haven't quite gotten to that box. I should be there by Saturday I think. When I get it out of the box, I'll post a picture of the stuff. Heah, I also purchased the book "Passing the Flame"..It was highly recommended by the guy who was selling it. I read it half way so far. What do you think of that book - have you ever heard of it?

At 6:17pm on September 6, 2008, Beadeful said…: May, thanks for the much needed push. I've tried to declutter my bead room so that I can get to things I've purchased but haven't touched, including the sewing machine, which is (at least) out of the box.

I will follow your directions and keep you posted. When I first brought the kit home last year - OOPS! did I say Last Year? Gosh, it's really been that long. Anyway, the first thing my husband said was, "don't touch that thing unless you are supervised; because I don't want you burning down the house" - Hmm. Well he spooked me into placing it on the shelf. So now, I think I'm ready to get it out of the box.

We'll see what happens.

Hi my name is May and I am a lampwork artist. I live in Texas with my family and all my pets. I have been lampworking for about 2 years and have been stringing beads for the past 3 years. Lampworking in short is the art of melting glass on to a very round and small mandrel which is what makes the bead hole. Then the bead is cooled to room temp. that is done with a digital kiln. I always clean my beads with a sharp diamond drill bit. I am picky about the way my beads look so I take a lot of pride in makeing each one in my studio in Texas. So visit and look around if you like anything email me
rayan521@prodigy.net
you can always find me hanging around here as well
