I'm still working on the bring stuff like making sure all the old links resolve, but I'm really happy with how it looks and works. I'll also be moving allot of content over from my LiveJournal as they just fired 20 of 28 employees and I've lost faith in their ability to store my past. One feature I think is very cool is that the top banner changes with the time of day. Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:47:21 -0800 http://www.americanmetaphysics.org/forum/func,view/catid,22/id,94/#94 Over the next month or so I will be moving American Metaphysics to the newest release of our CMS. At the same time I will be evaluating features, both new and old to decide what stays and what goes. If there is a feature on American Metaphysics that you love or loathe, or new features you would like to see please post here! Features that will be staying: Directory Calendar Featured Membership with all listed services Free Tarot Forum Prayer Circle If you have other suggestions, please POST!

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 22:18:33 -0800 http://www.americanmetaphysics.org/forum/func,view/catid,29/id,80/#80 Tis the season for Christmas music and all that holiday cheer stuff. Even when I'm at my most grumpy there are a few Christmas songs that always get to me. First, Christmas in the Trenches by John McCutcheon. This fantastic sing may not leave you filled with zesty jolliness, but it will remind you what the holiday is supposed to be about.[video type=youtube][/video] My next video is for Hard Candy Christmas by Dolly Parton. I love this song but was unable to find a link for my favorite version sung by RuPaul. Dolly is a good second. Check out the quality 80s hotel she's singin in - Awesome!
