(No, no, not that kind of homeless... StMarc & I are fine!)

When the admin of my artist trading card home (ATCards.com) announced the site was shutting down, fear, confusion, rage and sadness followed. The two-weeks' grace we were promised has evaporated (dunno why), but with 10 days left of the month, no one is able to access anything, unless they Google it and look at cached pages. The past week has been completely bipolar with the manic ups and downs the members have all experienced. There is light at the end of the tunnel....

Some of the computer-minded members *immediately* set about creating a new home for us. The latest word is that it will be ready for us to essentially be beta testers in 24 hours. There will be bugs to work out; of course! they've only had a week to do this. My hat's off to them. People have been working 'round the clock to ensure that the community did not fragment. They even made sure that everyone's feedback is carried over to the new site, attached to the same username. They had one request of us: Get the word out! So, even though my blog isn't exactly CuteOverload! with millions of visitors, I'll happily post on the off chance that someone reads that is interested.

Without further ado, I am pleased to announce the newest site for the trading of artist trading cards (and other mail art) -- ATCsforALL: [link]!
