**IMPORTANT NEWS**

Due to the building of the new site at icklebits I have had to move the website to a temporary directory.

I didn't want to leave you with nothing which is why I've set this up.

You will still find tutorials in the menu above and any updates via articles.

Due to complications I've had to temporarily shut down the galleries, events calendar and other features which I apologise for.

You will also find there is no access to log in. This is purely because its not needed. If you wish to sign up to our newsletter, please fill out the details in the box on the right.

I will work as quick as I can on the new site which will include ALL crafts and thousands more tutorials!

I will keep you updated via the newsletter and this page.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

**Sneak Preview***

I've added a photo album for a sneak preview of some of the stock of beads and jewellery making items to my facebook page. To keep updated please visit http://www.facebook.com/icklebits and hit the "like" button.

***Site Update***

I've now got a business directory of over 4000 craft related businesses and websites. The craft tutorial directory stands at over 1000.

I don't want to launch the new site until all sections are finished. I'm also working on a new blog. There will be a shop at the end of the year selling my miniatures, miniature paper plates, beads and jewellery findings, die cuts and card toppers and more craft related items.

I do hope you're as excited about the new site as I am! Please visit http://www.facebook.com/icklebits to "like" the page and leave any comments. I look forward to chatting with you!

COPY OF MASS MAILING:

 

Firstly I apologise at two emails in two days! However this is important news about icklebits.co.uk

This is a mass email sent to all users due to its importance. It's not a newsletter as such.

If you didn't get the newsletter yesterday (sent to monthly subscribers) then you can view it by clicking here or copying and pasting the following link into your browser.

http://www.icklebits.co.uk/miniatures/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=615:big-changes-your-input-required&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=298

The one I sent yesterday was for your input into the new site. Thank you for all your replies! It's so lovely to be appreciated (you know who you are!)

I work very hard on icklebits and have been busy building the new site which is why not much has happened on the present one.

Due to the move icklebits has been temporarily set up at www.icklebits.com

It is only showing the tutorials and articles. You can also register for the newsletter if you aren't yet subscribed. This can be done by filling out the box to the left. I will NOT be sending out any more updates as mass mailings. They will only go to subscribers so I recommend non subscribers sign up if they want to know when the major change has taken place.

It is only showing the above because I've had to condense it down but the resounding message I got from you all is that you couldn't bear to lose the tutorials.

I'm afraid I've had to shut down the galleries. I had no choice in the end because there was a technical error and when I went to retrieve the back up for them it was corrupted! Oh the tears I shed over that one. I'm so sorry about that.

The new site will have thousands more tutorials and will cover all other crafts. I have massive plans for the new site but first things first we need to get the new one up and running.

Thank you so much for your support and I appreciate your understanding.

Kind regards

Donna

Newsletter - technical problems. :-( PDF Print E-mail

Firstly, the weekly newsletter is going out today also so if you have subscribed to both then I apologise for duplicate copies just this once.

 

Big apologies are in order. For some unknown reason my website won't let people log in. Well, it does but then it gives a blank white page. This means people can't update their galleries etc. The only way the site can be viewed at the moment is by being logged out.

 

I've been trying to solve this problem since Joomlas last update and I've come to a dead end. (Editor: Since sending the newsletter I've had a couple of suggestions!)

 

All I can do now is to apologise and ask you to be patient with me as I build the new website. The new one has over 1000 dolls house tutorials on it and I'm adding new craft tutorials (in other areas) every day.

 

I hope to launch this later this year.

 

If you do need to update your gallery in any way, please email me and I'll do it for you.

 

As viewing the videos requires people being logged in, There are over 1000 videos and for me to rectify that it would take months to change them to public. This is a disaster to put it simply! Frown

 

I am so sorry about all this, i just wish I could solve it. If I do fix it I shall email you all.

 

If you need help with anything please email me.

 

Thank you for your understanding.

 

Donna

questionmanAs you know,, I've been busy building a new site. Well its nearing the time where I need to move it in to replace this one. This would mean shutting down icklebits for the period of time that I make the move.

I have tried every which way possible to fix the error with the present site and I can't do it. This is why I'm rushing forward with the new site.

However, I need to work out how much of an impact closing it for 3-6 months will have on my members....this is where you come in...please read on..........

questionmanIt's been brought to my attention that some of you are seeing the "White screen of death" as its known (blank page) after logging in. I'm frantically trying to work out what's going on so please accept my apologies.

 

I shall be SO glad when the new site is finished. Frown

**UPDATE** Any emails sent to me on 8th June will have bounced back due to problems with the server. Sigh. Please resend. I soooo need to get the new site finished. Frown
