I just wanted to say that I really LOVE the new Weavolution site.  Good work.  The site is more "professional" look and I am really happy that I can add my Kromski Rigid Heddle Loom now!  Keep up the good work!

I like the new look.

I like the new look. Especially the feature showing a picture from the projects so I can click right to it.

 

Okay here's my photo upload test. It works okay, kind of unfriendly, but it looks like it has some neat re-sizing features built in.

I had to guess the little blue box with red dots is the "Upload" picture command and after a couple more guesses I figured it out.

We're going to need a tutorial for that.

Have a good day!Franco Rios (shift-enter is not working)

WE are working hard to get

WE are working hard to get Help topics up today.

Villageweaver (Mary) has created a video on YouTUbe for all to see how to upload photos. At the moment, the links icon is not working so I will just put the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyrRJr02CrM

OK, you must first highlight

OK, you must first highlight the text you want to link like here and the link icon appears. Oh, dumb me.

So here is the link for the youtube video on how to load photos.

Thanks for that, Patty Anne.

Thanks for that, Patty Anne. Several people are unhappy about it. We do have a video in YouTube for those interested in watching.  Villageweaver demonstrates all the features plus you have ALL your photos in one place now and access to them.

YouTube video is here.

I, too, am in the "love, love, love it" category!  The new format certainly does look more professional (I love the woven textured borders!) and we all appreciate so much all the work you do to bring this to us.  Please don't let the nay sayers get you down.  You done good!

Everyone should keep in mind

Everyone should keep in mind that since this is all volunteer that we all need to point out weaknesses and room for growth.  Don't label folks as nay sayers.  That is a negative label.  The folks who had the vision deserve credit and it is up to us to help them find how to make things better.  If we don't define and point out the lapses Weavolution can't improve.  If we were paying money for access we should expect everything to be perfect up front.  Right now Weavolution is like a loom with a sticky warp on it.  We can get a shed but we have to work on it> The warp colors are beautiful so it is worth trying to get that shed even thought we want to take the scissors to the warp.  Hopefully the sizing applications will work and the mohair shawl will get easier to weave.
