That's all I can say for now.

It will be available for everyone - and we're working hard on getting it online and completed.

More details later.

bye!

Hmm, we have VBookie, and Mother in the Chat, I wonder what it could be?

Maybe we should leave him some early tricks or treats, and then he will give us a hint?

We'll get a store online after we get a decent logo! I'm looking forward to that myself!

I am now going to go crazy wondering what it is..

Do you want that on your conscience Tombstone!!! huh do ya.....

Oh knickers, thought he might fel guilty and give a hint...:p

Please, Tombstone. There are some of us gardeners to whom you could bring a chink of light in the dark night, a little hope in the hopelessness, a reason to be, a dream in the midst of nightmares, some relief from the cruel hands of fate, love where love seems not, ...I beg you, I plead...

(That should do it :sneaky: )

Oh I love surprises!!! Such anticipation, such excitement, (I'm getting this feeling that I might be getting too carried away with this hehehe

)

Don't suppose we could get a clue at to at least when this new feature will happen?? Please?? Pretty please?? Pretty please with a cherry on top?? :p

Nothing is working, Chris

Maybe we should change tactic?

(or it could be that Tombstone is fast asleep and blissfully unaware of our suffering?)

chrisb84uk · Post by **chrisb84uk** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 3:24 am

Hmm you're right Theia, this pleading isn't getting us anywhere, perhaps a different approach is needed!! Hehehe some interesting thoughts are coming into my mind now hahaha. :sneaky:

Keep those thoughts coming, Chris...I have to be honest, the word "heavy" came to mind but, well, you know...I'm off to work for a couple of hours but I'll be musing just the same...this is a difficult one...careful planning needed...

chrisb84uk · Post by **chrisb84uk** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 3:37 am

Indeed, don't want to step over any lines here and do something we may regret later. I wonder if Tombstone is ticklish?? :sneaky:

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 4:05 am

Here you go Tombstone!

chrisb84uk · Post by **chrisb84uk** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 4:55 am

Hehehe now if that doesn't warrant a little clue, then nothing will!!

Telling the gardeners you are adding a new feature and not telling what it is, is as mean as telling a child (or me) that you bought them a present and aren't saying what it is.

*Lays on floor kicking feet and screaming*

theia · Post by **theia** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 7:16 am

Can't say I'm that bothered about neat new features anyway. I can take them or leave them

Tombstone · Post by **Tombstone** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 9:05 am

This thread has taken on a life of its own!

Now don't get too excited! Once I announce it, you may all say: "oh, that's okay - hey! that's not so great! we want something better!"

But if you do ... I'll take the blame.

Test us out then, Tombstone....sort of... like now?

(you'll feel less stressed if you do...I promise)

We are rolling out a new hosted BLOG service. Free to all registered FG'ers! It will be based on WordPress.

You will be able to create your own blog, choose your own theme, and have your own subdomain at forumgarden.

For example, anastrophe's blog's URL would be: anastrophe.forumgarden.net

Nice and clean.

And, for those who are so inclined, they can apply for Google Adsense and place their own Google Adsense within their posts/blog - so they can have a chance of making a little (or a lot) or money on their blog.

How does that sound?

It sounds great to me....ehmmm what does BLOG stand for and what's it all about....????

My best answer to that is: google "blog"

OK...did that...

Your blog is your personal webpage that allows you to easily publish your thoughts, opinions and ideas.

As a 'blogger' I will be 'blogging' when I update the 'blog' (journal)....correct ?

Now I know what to expect, I can't wait.

Get outta town, our own blog. OMG you may get sick and tired of me ahahahahaha So this will be a bit like replacing journals, and folks can comment? Oh gee better keep the xxx rated stuff close to my heart ahahaha as iff.... I for one think this is cool as can be. Awesome, I just gotta learn how to do it ahahahahahaha

Blogs, web logs. A kind of online journal you have out there for everyone and anyone to read.

BLOG stands for weBLOG. The rest you've already worked out.

A Big Thank You, Tombstone. I know what a blog is (amazingly), and although I don't understand subdomain, Wordpress and all those other technical sounding whatevers, I think it's brilliant :-6

What's the difference between a blog and a forum?
