Bet you didn't expect another update this soon...
Well, I have no new content of my own to share with you, but on my wanderings around doll-land, found that there have been some pretty cool things happening while I was away...
First up, we have PxT,
a dolling magazine now on its 3rd issue. I have wanted to start my own dolling magazine for the longest time, but always forced myself not to as I knew myself well enough to know
I'd struggle to keep focused on it long enough to maintain it! PxT is really good, there are some great articles on there & I hope that they remain "not dead", to paraquote the editor!
Pixistar Doll Base Archive was created by Strawberry1 as a tool to archive & search for bases, as well as having an index of communities. It's still in
Beta at the moment, but looks like it's going to be a really valuable asset to the dolling community.
Knack CMS - although not quite ready for release, this is pretty exciting & one to keep an eye on! Imrielle Designs is working on a CMS (Content Management System) built specifically to cater for doll sites. This should make it a much easier option for people to build and maintain doll sites. There is a general feeling in the community at the moment that we are losing personal doll sites, hopefully this should help to reverse the trend.
That's all for now...

Ok, I know this site has been down for a while (ahem) & I can't actually guarantee that this is me coming back (I am nothing if not erratic).
I've had a lot of problems with this site being hacked, so was going to pack it all in; but when I logged into my FTP account for the first time in years today, I found all my content was still actually here, only the front page was missing. So I figured, what the heck, let's stick a front page on the site, someone might find it useful... (I can see from my stats that there are still some lovely people out there that visit me, thanks :)
So, without further ado, here it is...
