New features added you will enjoy

I love it when I can personalize my information.  I have added a new feature that I hope all of my followers will enjoy.  If you have already created a user account for our site, then you know you did not have the option of adding a profile picture.  Personally, I hate the generic pictures that site like to put beside my name and I like to personalize it to make it more like me.  In this case, that would be a picture of me so that you, my followers, actually know what I look like.

o=> If you already have an account created, then you can login and go to your preferences.  o-> Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will now see a feature where you can upload a picture for yourself.  Please remember to make it appropriate as this site is a family friendly site.  All non-family friendly pictures will be deleted (which I am sure everyone can understand ).

 8) Another feature now added is the ability to see the Emoticons (or smilies) you would like to add in your comments.  I have been working very hard on this the last couple of days.  Trying different plugins only to find that they are not what I was looking for as they did not show the smilies or the plugin once installed made the site work incorrectly.  Perseverance worked in the end.  I have put to the side all the smilies with the code you can manually type for the smilie you want to use.  All of these are organized for easier use. :-bd

:-ss The next thing I want to mention is a decision I have decided to make.  From this point forward, everyone will need to register with our site by creating a user account in order to post a comment.  I receive way to many spam comments from people who are not a member of the site.  My sincerest hope that this will elevate some of that.  I will be able to tell who posts a comment from now on.  Hopefully better moderate what people are putting now. c:)c
