Sorry for the quink n dirty this month, after the excitment of having to move our server I'm just a little moved out.

What is the Holiday Ad Book you ask? It's a one stop directory of places to shop! It's more than a holiday gift "guide," it's a resource people will hang on to and reference all year long. I can't tell you how many times I've directed someone to this place or that looking for the perfect holiday gift, baby gift, mama gift... you name it! Whether you sell Avon, Body Shop at Home, Candles, Clothing, jewelry, you have a place in our book!

Punky Moms got over 6200 front page hits in August alone, PunkyMomsForum.com got over 63000 (yes, three zeros!) and that is where our ad book will be available for permanent download. That is some serious exposure!

For the ridiculously inexpensive rate of 20$ per 1/8 page ad (the size of a business card) you can have a spot in our holiday digital book. Spots are limited! The book will be available for free download to everyone as well as being distributed around the web.

Want a larger size? All of our rates are ridiculously inexpensive!

We want to have this created and ready for download and distro at the beginning of November for those who like to do their holiday shopping early! As long as the ads are in it will go out on time!

Room3 & ImmatureCouture each won a free six month medium store in The Alt Bazaar. Go check out their stuff, it's high quality and stunning, and not in a stun-gun kind of way either.

Cherry Canary had three giveaways last month! Prizes went out to Nadia H. of the UK, Lea Ana D. of Texas and Kelly A-M of Ohio. Congratulations ladies, you have packages on their way to you. Enjoy your Cherry Canary goodness!

Tickets are gone, Community Help is back. We have taken oodles of time creating guides for just about every facet of this board and posted the instructions in this forum. Please read through this section or the Help area to find your answer before you ask us any questions.

Thanks in advance for not wasting your time or ours. If however, you have a serious problem with errors or something that we have not already addressed, then by all means post about it and we will help you as fast as we can.

If it is an error, please copy and paste the exact error, along with your OS (generally Windows, Mac or *nix), your browser (generally IE, FireFox, Safari, Opera or Chrome) and the theme/template you are using on the board itself. Without all that info, we can't really help.

We hate beating a dead horse, but we hate answering the same question (especially when it's identical to the post below the new one you just made) fifty million times.

Inferno RPG is gone as it was going unused. No big deal, you probably didn't even notice.

Don't forget about QOTW & Weekly Photo Challenge

Punky Moms is having a kids costume contest! We will be making a thread in Member Updates (only because it's a public forum and all members can see it) for you to post your kiddos in their costumes. We'll be offering a prize for ages birth to two years, three - five, six - ten, and ten and up. We're not sure what our prizes are going to be yet, but they will be age apprpriate. We'll be posting about them in the blog and on the site soon!

The review will be featured in our newsletter which is sent to everyone who is registered with us - not just those who are active on the board. We also publish the review on our main site which is accessible to the entire web surfing public. We will include pictures of your product, your web address and logo in our review. We will also give you a copy of the review to use on your site as a testimonial - provided you link back to us.
