Warmest Greetings,

:: Saturday, August 31, 2002 ::

And then the Avatars rolled out...Jill Whalen joined and I figured out how to work the private message thingy...

When you launch a new Forum, you either sacrifice a goat to the Sun God, or you gather your craziest friends and supporters and jump into the boiling pot of water naked. We chose the latter. That's Phil (the technical genius behind the scenes) over there, with the binoculors.

Last night it seems as though everyone sent their Avatars up to the server. Those are images of one's choice. In the case of the Moderators, they put up little pics of themselves. As you can tell, the guys hate having their pics taken. The women, at least, will smile. Ok, except Adrian. He smiled for the camera. Everyone is so wonderful and perfect. A true community.

The Cre8asite Forum even attracted (and I think Phil bribed her) Jill Whalen, who will handle beginining SEO questions. You may know her of HighRankings.com fame. If you don't, come meet her at the forum. You'll soon see why I'm thrilled to pieces she's joined us.

There's quite a crew over there running, maintaining, developing and moderating the Forum. It covers search engines, search engine optimization, user interface, usability, spam/scam protection, and web development. We all strive for integrity, honesty, good business practices, ethics and accurate information - but we don't all agree on what all that actually is!

If you want to learn about any of these topics, please join us. We're being creative over there, and our hope is to make everyone's education, including our own (we just THINK we know it all) lots of fun.

Kim
