First, I'm going to make this slightly organized.

1. I'm am HORRIBLY sorry for the inactiveness. A part of it was due to lazyness, then my computer got messed up and I had to wait 1 week to get it fixed. Then I found out photoshop isn't working, so I got lazy again and only reinstalled it now!! so only NOW am I able to present you a working main layout. I hope you like it, though. It features the j-rock band 176BIZ.

2. We have two new staff members, Kare and Reina. Kare used to be the owner of our past affiliate, Serene-Soul, which closed down. Reina was the owner of Crimson Tears, a site which closed down, which also used to be our link exchange. Give them a nice warm welcome!

3. We have a new sibling, Etherie Designs. Chiyuki and Miyako are quite talented, so welcome them as well. Also welcome Sunnyy of Timeless, our new link exchange.

4. I've taken off the SOTM, it's too tedious. I'm going to start an icon contest soon, called J-ICON, so look forward to that, as well as the SOTY. Yes, SITES of the year. Applying will start in september and winners announced on January 1st, 2008 (Our 1 year anniversary!) Almost everyone will be able to win, as there will be different categories. Look forward to that as well!

5. I'm taking down the forums.

6. I'm going to open 3 subsections of Skylark soon. A review site, J-music site, and an animanga site. Look for that in the future too, and if you'd like to help, drop me an email at hana@silverinches[dot]com!

7. I need to redo the contact forms, so until then, send all applications to hana@silverinches[dot]com.

8. NOW FOR THE UPDATES!
3 new div layer layouts by kare. From the series Lovers and X/1999.
1 table layout by Kare featuring Zhang Ziyi.
LOTS of avatar bases featuring Koda Kumi, Ayumi Hamasaki, Misono, BoA, Sowelu, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. More will be added.
7 Signatures (Air Gear, Ayaka, BoA, Asian BJD, Koda Kumi, Mariah Carey, Tomiko Van)
12 100x100 avatars (zhang ziyi, gravitation, PotC, Bleach, CG, FMA, shonen ai series)

School is also starting on the 4th for me, so I will be a freshman in high school. I'll try to update lot though. When I get my schedule I'll post it here so you'll know what kind of classes I have (which often tells how much homework i'm getting...!)

I haven't updated in 2 months. I'm horribly sorry! I have no excuse, please forgive me.

I come back with a rushed new layout, I'm going to fix cutenews and get the new forums up, as well as adding some new graphics.

Please be patient!

Knowing the lazy butt I am, the revamp is over. XD

Anyways, I added 3 more wallpapers, and there will be more screen sizes available.

Also added more avatar bases and 100x100 avatars.

And I'd like to say goodbye to our beloved affiliate, Serene-Soul, which is owned by Kare. She has closed down her site, but now she belongs to our staff! ^^

Stay tuned for the next update.
