Hi everyone,

Someone pointed out to me, and I agree, that it can be really unpleasant to browse blogs when there is music in posts that automatically starts playing. If there are more than one of these, in the "Biography" blog section for example, It quickly becomes a cacophony! So, I ask you to please set all your music tracks to NOT play unless someone presses the PLAY button on the player.

Here are some instructions on how to do this:

* On Mixpod.com, just go to the customize tab and click the blue word "Settings". Then select no for autoplay.

* If you have a player that is auto-playing check in the embed code and you will see something like: 'autoplay=true'. Please change that to 'autoplay=false'.

If I find any autoplaying music in my journeys through the site today, I will change the settings on them as well.

AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT! If you are posting lots of big images, please try putting some of them behind a "Read more" link. Use the button in the posting area that says "Split summary at cursor." Everything in the top textarea is immediately visible, everything in the lower one will be seen when a reader clicks for "more." This will help save people's bandwidth and make browsing a better experience for everyone. But the point of the image galleries is to see your images, so definitely don't hide everything away! We want to see what you are making

AND about that 'Display Name' problem! nope. it's still not fixed. We are dependent on our server admin to help us fix this because Michael and I haven't the slightest idea why it doesn't work. The guy has been a great help with the overhaul of the site on the server side. But we can't monopolize all his time (unfortunately ) He will get to it soon as I poke him about it some more.

The sky could be blue, I don't mind…

Silvery

Meaning
Allseeing (Forest Language)

Gender
Doe

Date of Birth
June 24

18

Appearance
Silvery wears the magpie coat, a pelt consisting of different shades of blue and purple. Her underbelly and face are made of the purest white, while her chocolate brown eyes are surrounded by a charcoal coloured mask. It is said that the black was caused by her insomnia and the many fearful tears she had cried after each nightmare. In summer her head is covered in beautiful, red peacock-like feathers. In winter she loses these feathers, until a few smaller ones (magpie) remain. Her fur is extremely fluffy, and even fluffier in the wintery season. Especially her tail is covered in a lot of fur.

History
[=12]Silvery was raised by only her mother, since her father decided to leave the family while she was still a newborn fawn. Her mother pretended Silvery didn't have a biological father, but instead was a child of the (male) Twin God himself. From early age it was known Silvery had a very short attention span and trouble listening.
