Okay so I'm sorry I haven't updated much recently, or been in contact with affiliates. I'm trying to find a job. I was relying on a client with freelance work to pay me but she hasn't (its been about 3 months now). Noones donating to the site so I won't be able to pay this months hosting fees, therefore I'll be closed for awhile. Unless anyone that visits, cares enough to donate at least 1 dollar to keep it open for another month...

So the voting for the anime avatar contest has been closed. Bunny won 1st place and Irhene won second, everyone else can have a participation award (when I make it). Thanks for joining in!
I think, I'm going to let you people decide what contest I should host next. Photomanipulation? Graphics (any)? Anime? Layout? Drawing? Others? You decide! =]

Now about the rest of the site. I still haven't got around to finishing the new layout yet, hehe. sorry. I have plans for 2 new sites to add to the network, one will be for my writing and stuff, and the other will be anime-based, maybe have some downloadable stuff and reviews and things like that.

I've been working on a new layout, so far I've got the main header image done (took awhile cause photoshop kept crashing aaand I had no internet for 8 hours so I couldn't find a good font till it was back on.)
I also started something else which I might make a new site for and add it to the network, but don't expect that anytime soon ;p

- Shane

So I'm bored right now. People keep asking when the voting for the anime avatar contest ends, I'm just gonna say it'll end in a few days when there's a nice number of votes.
Anyway, I want a new layout. SO!!!!!!!! If you have any ideas for what the next layout should be (colors, design, etc.) then please email me and let me know! =]
Also, if you want to talk to me on msn/yahoo, you can add meeee: shane.p@live.co.uk

Please welcome Vina-chii to the link exchanges list =]
I also added another Site of The Month entry, aaaand here's that banner Christine donated:

The Anime Avatar contest is now closed, and you can vote for a winner by going to the contest page and using the voting poll on there. Good luck to all entries =]
I've also updated the link to Tugboat Graphics (previously Sensei Graphics) on the affiliates list.
Anything else? Not right now. I'm thinking about a new graphics contest with the theme "Seasons". Maybe.

- Shane

Okay so where should I start with this update? lol.
I've added 2 new pages on Erythrae, and a total of 21 new graphics. I also added the contest entries and a new link to the directory. And I'm also thinking about adding a reviews section to the site, or maybe open another site to expand the network a bit?

• New Page on Erythrae Designs - Advertisements (8 graphics)
• New Page on Erythrae Designs - Misc (4 graphics)
• Erythrae Designs - added 5 new banners
• Erythrae Designs - added 2 new designs
• Erythrae Designs - added 2 new wallpapers
• Xari-Myst Contests - added 2 anime avatar entries
• Xari-Myst Contests - added 2 June sotm entries
• XM Directory - added 1 new graphics site link

This months hosting cost has been paid, but I can't afford to keep paying anymore. I will only be paying for next months hosting costs if I can get $6 from donations to the site, if not then the site will be going offline on 10th July (when the payment is due).

I'm sorry if you don't like this news, I don't like it either. Until I find regular work or a proper job, then I won't be able to keep the site open.

Okay so this isn't really an update, more of a "I'm still alive" update. Well anyways, I foudn an old wallpaper I never added to the site, aaand I have some ideas for new graphics, aand I have a contest entry or two to add, OH! and Christine from http://christy.violinstar.net/ was so kind to make a banner for the June site of the month contest, which I'll also add sometime soon.

And for those of you who still aren't sure, YES I AM A GUY.

- Shane

Added the newest entry for the anime avatar contest, and also a new link to the directory.
Apparantly one of my affiliates is closing :O
But right now it's not letting me see the news post over there so I'll take another look later >_<

I'm beginning to get annoyed with the internet connection now. Everytime I try to work on the site it keeps going off. It took 15 minutes just to save the updated file for the navigation. So if it seems like I'm neglecting the site or I take awhile to reply to any comments and stuff, it's just my internet stopping me from doing anything.

Anyway. XM.net has a new affiliate, Corial. I also added 2 icon backgrounds and 2 buttons to Erythrae Designs.

Remember to donate to the site if you want to help with hosting costs or something, I'll give you some free graphics to do whatever you want with if you do ;p

• New Affiliate - Corial
• 2 Icon Backgrounds
• 2 Buttons

- Shane

Okay so I finally got around to adding some graphics to Erythrae Designs, next time I'll work on some buttons, been awhile since I did any of them.

Hoorah! I got the new layout working, what do you think of it?
Also got some other updates too.

• Added a new Anime Avatar Contest Entry
• Added 4 new links to the directory
• New affiliate - Bunny Anime
• Winner of April Site of The Month Contest - Lunar Month

So hopefully I'll be updating a bit more, aaand I got nothing else to say right now >_<

Hello there my amazing visitors! Sorry I haven't been dedicated to the site recently, I just can't be bothered! xD But this update is to let you know that I'm working on Version 10 (yes, already) cause I don't like this green layout, I kinda rushed it for the sake of having an update ;p

Anyway, between this update and the opening of Version 10, I'll be adding our new affiliate, updating the contests pages, and rearranging my photography to be part of Erythrae Designs.
Agaaaaaain, I apologise for being a bad website owner xD
It seems like whenever I get inspiration to do anything with the site, my intnernet dies so then I don't bother doing anything cause it takes forever to upload everything. ¬_¬
Maybe I'll start using my blog again too....I dunno >_<

- Shane

Hey again, I finally made a proper update! It's only a new layout but it's better than nothing considering my internet decided to start being crappy again (took about an hour just to upload all the images properly...)

Anyway, if you entered any contests would you mind re-submitting your entries if I don't add them by the end of the week? It'd mean I either lost the email or didn't get one. >_<
