"A Place for all Beaders to Showcase their Creations."
New Status Feature on Your Page
You may have noticed a new Status feature appearing at the top of your page, This is a little like the Status feature on other networks where you can regularly post important short notes, comments or updates on what you are doing. This is limited to 140 characters.
The updates will appear at the top of your page and in our Latest Activity on the home page. So this is a good way to get a short message out to everyone to keep them updated.
However, you do have some control over this in your Privacy Settings as well. You can turn this off so your updates do not appear in our Latest Activity if you prefer.
If you have customized your page you also have control over the background color used. You will find this as a new option in the customization options page where you set most other colors.
For longer posts please still use Your Blog as it offers far more features for layout, formatting and of course inclusion of photos.
As usual, please enjoy, but do keep our Community Guidelines in mind when using this feature.

Jeff, thanks for your hard work. You improve the site all the time to give us more to work with. I've seen many other beading social networks, and there are just none other that's as practical and fantastic as Beaders Showcase. I keep on inviting everybody I talk to (via email), and every week I see people who I invited to check Showcase out, joined. 2 New members this week, and that is just to say thanks for your excellent and hard work. I do appreciate you!! Lorraine

Hi Lorraine
Thanks for the compliments but I have to admit it is the techs that built the platform that do all the programming. So can't take credit for that.
Thanks heaps for spreading the word. Greatly appreciated, believe me.

Cool feature! Would also be great to use Facebook/Twitter to update our status here. That would save a lot of time! :D
