We have got some exciting new developments in the works for those of you who have gone through the naming ceremony process!

First, thank you for being so patient with us while we work all these kinks out! This has totally been a learning process and we're so happy you're sticking through it with us! I think it's gonna be worth it in the end!

So here is the new info:


- Completing the naming ceremony process is the act which initiates you into the website. Initiates become full members of the community, a group which will now go by the name of Kindred Quirks. As a member of The Kindred you are entitled to a very special blinkie created individually for each member by the totally fabulous and amazing Robyn England. Wear this blinkie with pride! And wear it anywhere you like. It is your badge of membership to the coolest gang there is! To get your blinkie, follow this LINK (http://robynengland.com/kindred/).

- Once you are initiated, you are eligible to join a tribe. The tribal system will be different than previously explained. We are still working on the details but it will have nothing to do with the group of people you went through the naming ceremony with, joining will be totally optional, and measures are in place to prevent any appearance of clique-ness whatsoever. The sole purpose of these tribes will be for playing fun activities and challenges with each other. It is not necessary to join a tribe to "belong" to the site. We are all members of The Kindred, and that bond takes precedence over any tribal allegiances that may be formed in the future.

- As a small token of our appreciation and as a welcoming gift, every person who joins the Kindred will receive a free kit of goodies donated by a few of our crew and members. I should have this zipped and ready to go over the weekend.


So that's all I have for you right now. Stay tuned for the tribal stuff. Maybe this weekend. I've been home sick with the flu the last couple of days so I'm behind on everything.

And please don't forget to thank Robyn for the blinkies :) I asked her to make ONE blinkie. And I made a joke the other day about how "The Kindred" sounded so eerie, almost like a horror movie, and that it was too bad there was no way to add creepy horror music to a blinkie! LOL So what does she do? She creates a whole stinking website, complete with horror movie music, and then goes and makes an individual blinkie for each person!!! Is she the best or what!?

You guys are the best. What a creative way to recognize everyone who's been through the naming ceremony. Off to look at blinkies. Thanks so much.

I'm having a blonde moment. Will someone please tell me how to upload the blinkie to my signature. I've copied the files to Store and Serve for hosting. What's next? Thanks.

Donna, if you go to edit signature and look at the box where you type stuff in, scroll over the icons until you see the one called "insert image". When you click on that, a box will pop up and you will have to insert the URL of where your blinkie is. So you'd go to where it's hosted and copy from that.

Does that help?

Michelle, that's exactly what I did. Sometimes, I just hate computers. :) I guess I'll start all over. Maybe I just have a bad link. Thanks for getting back with me.

Hmm . ..

Do you have the http:// part in your URL? I forgot that once and spent hours trying to figure out what I did wrong LOL Sometimes it's the stupid little things . . .

Robyn might be able to help you, she understands that stuff better. But I'll keep trying to think of what might be wrong . ..

I switched image hosts, and it worked just fine. Go figure. Thanks again for your help.

Wow! That's so cool! Thank you Robyn! I even managed to get it onto my siggie without too much stress! I don't think I've ever known such a welcoming and kind-spirited forum as this before. Now I just need to work out how to put my blinkie onto the side-bar of my blog.:confused:

Greetings to all my kindred spirits!;)

That's why you should do the naming ceremony too Cathy! You are indeed a 'Kindred Quirk'! :D

You already know how I feel about the blinkies, R, they are uber cool, and your generous spirit and customizing each one with a quirk name is just another indicator of your giving personality!!

Sweet Robyn, I will try to install my blinkie. I hate blinkies with a passion but this is such a lovely thing that you have done that I will blink with pride! But I gotta wait until the glue wears off (long story but simply not mentally equipped to handle this tonight. Who knew broadcasting would take such running to catch them?)

You ladies are all too sweet! I am so happy that you like the blinkies. Please let me know if yours is spelled wrong or anything ... or if yours is missing! Also, any newbie Kindred - just email me with your new Quirk name and I'll make you a blinkie right away. Really no trouble - only takes a second to create each one. My email address is Robyn@ScrapArtist.com.

And Nevermore - welcome to blinkie land! LOL! I KNEW I could convert you to the Las Vegas signature line! Really no worries if you prefer not to use it!

Wow, how cool! Robyn, those blinkies are the coolest. I tend to be with Nevermore, though it's mostly because I'm signature inept. I can never get stuff to go in the right place. Guess I better get my final LO done so that I can joint the ranks of the blinkie-meisters!
