I've created a quick tracking page so you can all see who's adding resources and for what cities and states. To see it,
just go to http://www.gotblack.com/regional/stats.php.

I also need a little bit of help from those willing to offer up 10 or 20 minutes of your time. I'm putting together a
database of gothic resources and all of the framework is complete, but now I just need to populate the database with
data. When complete, it will serve as a valuable resource for people looking for goth-friendly shops, restaurants,
etc.etc. I've seen a lot of need for this in moving and traveling, and it's been requested, so now it's happening. If
you have just a few minutes and know a couple resources you could add, head over to the form at http://www.gotblack.com/regional/addresourceus.php
and fill in a little bit of information. The resources section will be visible once I've got a fair amount of content to display.<

Those who add a resource will receive credit for each resource added. If the resource is in a city not listed, choose the
closest city listed and email me. Tell me the city to add and the name of the resource and I'll fix it up.

I'll bet you've noticed something different here. I've moved some things around for a couple reasons, the first being ease of
design. I wanted an easier way to change the look of the site without having to change 100 files. This time, I'll still have
to change 100 or so files, but the next time I get bored with the site's look, it'll take about 10 minutes to change only a couple
files.
The second reason I've moved stuff around is that I needed to make some room. I've received requests for new and different
content, so I've been working on some fun new sections and functionality behind the scenes. Everyone will get to see the new
stuff as I add it, and when I add or change something, I'll make a note here.
On that note, take a peek at the new menu. It's ugly. I know this, but I figured you care more about the site working and
providing you with tons of information, links, and reading material than the look of the menu. I'll make it all nice and
pretty later. The important thing to note is that there's no longer a top frame. Click on the menu item to go to that page
and get sub-menus. Now look on the right side. I've moved the Profile information there and tightened it up a lot so that
I can display the top 10 viewed profiles and the 10 most recently updated and new profiles. I'll be adding per-page stats
and gobs of other information to that right-side info bar soon. As well, I'm working on a new Ecards section and auctions site.
For now, please excuse the dust and email joi@gotblack.com
with any comments, questions, suggestions or bug reports.

I've mostly been skimming email because I've been moving this past week and haven't yet set up my net connection at home
(I just need to change it to DHCP), so if you've emailed or requested an account, I'm not ignoring you, I've just been
really busy. I'll get back on top of things very soon.
After some server upgrades and a little downtime (web only... Mail still ran just fine), GotBlack.com is back up and
running smoothly. Future plans involve moving to a whole new (and much faster) server which may introduce the ability
to do a lot more with your web and mail accounts. More on that after I investigate all the options.
