My laptop has decided that connecting to the internet is not so important. Personally, I disagree, but so far cannot persuade the laptop to change his mind. In the mean time, I will be around, but much less so since the desktop is not as inconvenient. Between that and the vast amount of work I still have to do in the way of adding tags and etc to get us all moved in here properly, I am taking submissions offline for a few days until this is all straightened out. I have PLENTY of already-uploaded entries (read: I am way behind!) so I’ll keep posting as well. I just don’t want to get even more behind.

So until then, I’ll see you around, just less so!

With the new design came a switch to WordPress from Moveable Type (a change I am so far extremely happy with!). Unfortunately in the switch we lost all the tags I had on the posts. Which means you currently cannot click on them and find all the related submissions, but I will slowly be adding them over the next weeks. In the mean time if there is a particular kind of post you are looking for (about eating disorders, or survivors of sexual abuse, or teen moms, etc) use the search box at the bottom of the blog pages. Sorry for the inconvenience!

As you can see we are changing our look over here. Please bear with us as we get all the kinks worked out. It sure is pretty, though, eh? I’m so excited!

I have been SO busy the last few days that I only have time to check comments. I will be back hopefully tomorrow. Sorry! Hope you all are well!

It’s about time, right? Those of you on Facebook, go check it out and join. See you there!

If you haven’t heard yet, San Diego is raging with wildfires again. I’m not sure if my area of town will be evacuated or not, but if I disappear for awhile in the next few days, bear with me. I will be here as soon as I can.

Please send any good thoughts or prayers in this direction. The firefighters are having to just watch much of it burn because there is nothing to do to stop these terrible winds.

This site is growing faster than we can keep up with and my host has actually raised the bandwidth limit twice this month for me (Thanks!). Anyway, we’re back now and I’m pretty sure we won’t run out again before the month is over!

Karly over at First Ourselves has been very patient with me while I was a complete flake all summer. ;) Nevertheless, she has posted a link to our site with a short interview about my own feelings on my body. Check it out! Thanks again, Karly!

You’ll notice I’ve teamed up with BlogHer to help support this site. I realize many people frown upon ads, and I’ve always tried to keep the ads we have text-only, but as this photo-heavy site continues to grow, so it continues to become more and more expensive. I think running some tasteful flash ads here is perfectly acceptable if it helps more and more women discover they aren’t alone just like you have.

Thanks for understanding! And thanks to BlogHer for being such a great resource for women bloggers!

Just a quick note to say that I made a big mistake and have not been remembering to post any submissions that were e-mailed to me for the last few months (!) so I’m working on it now. I’m very sorry it’s taken so long, but should be all updated soon.

Anyone interested in participating, please use the submission form (linked from here) rather than e-mailing them. Thanks!
