MAJOR SITE ANNOUNCEMENT:

AUSXIP AND FOREVAXENA MERGE
I have the great pleasure in announcing a merger between ForevaXena and Ausxip (and the Lucy and ROC sites) which is run by MaryD.

I must preface this by saying that MaryD and her site have always been an inspiration. “The Australian Xena Information Page (AUSXIP)” has been my favorite site from the very beginning; one which I eventually tried to pattern my “ForevaXena…” site after.

Over the years I have tried to bring a similar variety and quality of content to the visitors of “ForevaXena…”. I knew from the beginning that I didn’t just want to “copy” what Mary was providing, but rather etch out a unique type of site with it’s own character and offerings, and certainly make it is “subtexty” as possible! I never expected that it would grow to become the massive site that is has. For that, I am very grateful to all of you from the bottom of my heart J

Unfortunately, due to the limitations on my time in the past couple of years, my (at one time) daily updates have suffered greatly. While I still believe that “ForevaXena…” should remain online for everything that is unique to it, I also feel that my efforts and online time would be better spent helping Mary continue to expand and maintain “AUSXIP”. It is, without question, THE site to find all things Xena!

Rather than try to duplicate material on “ForevaXena…” (which will remain online in some form) and have both of us spending time posting the same info, Mary and I are teaming up to consolidate our efforts. Hopefully this will take “AUSXIP” to an even higher level (if that’s possible!) of achievement. I look forward to helping her bring even more varied content to the site, all the while allowing each of us a little more time for RL 

A WORD FROM MARYD:

Cindy (Forevaxena) and I have come to an agreement where the Forevaxena site will merge into Ausxip. That doesn't mean ForevaXena will disappear off the Xenaverse radar, it just means that Cindy will alter the focus of Forevaxena and merge some aspects of Forevaxena into Ausxip. 

What this also means for Ausxip is that Cindy has volunteered to maintain the artwork section on ausxip. Now what that means for artists is that they can now submit their artwork again. The Xenaverse is chock full of talented people. One of those talented fans is Cindy. Having a dedicated webmaster like Cindy join Mesh, Judi, Ann and the regular contributors at AUSXIP will only benefit the Xenaverse. 

I have always admired Cindy's work and it's an honour to have her join AUSXIP, The Lucy Lawless Files and The ROC Files.

  Once again I'm able to pull my snorkle above the water line and get some updates on for you!  I'm going to get as much posted as possible today and then try to be a bit more regular, if at all possible.  While I was away, I managed to move the site to yet another server!  What that means is a wee bit of savings money-wise (something I desparately needed!) and a bit more storage space.  I've been operating from this new server for a couple of weeks now and it seems quite reliable :O)

  Some of you already know this, but my honey is a Certified SCUBA Instructor here in the Florida Keys.  Recently I've been spending a fair amount of time getting her new Web site together and wanted to share it with all of you.  It's KeysHydroGirl.com - perhaps if you're ever in our neck of the woods, she can help get you certified, or just maybe be a guide for your trip!  I've also added a banner to this page and the Non-Xena Links page.
