Mike ... Monsoon season starts ... what July 1?  So you're just a few days early!

Cheryl- I read that one, and the next 2......still several questions.  They've answered some questions, but certainly not all....I will watch for your answers :)  Jon did say that a few of the things would be fixed tonight around 11pm.

Terry ... I don't think I would make the AR outside blog my one and only blog ... but that is an individual decision.

Cheryl, do you know how to delete the avatar? I uploaded one, and it is too big, only the corner shows. I tried to upload again resizing and I can't get a new one to on in. Also there is no delete or remove button.

@Missy --- I think if you just upload another one, it will overwrite the previous one. Maybe?

What is an outside blog???? I have no clue what i am supposed to do.....thank you...

Lisa .... In addition to Active Rain, most AR members maintain their own individual blogs, and the phrase "outside blog"  (menaing "outside of Active Rain") got used a lot.

Then... the Active Rain guys decided to develop a new feature ... offering members individual blogs that can have a customer domain name ... so they used the phrase "Outside Blogs"
