...for the next two years. I leave on January 12th, and I won't be back until the same day in 2007, barring any unforseen difficulties.
I'll probably clean out the queue one more time before I leave, then leave all you peoples to have fun with it. It's probably a good idea to try and recruit a new Gallery Assistant, too, as from the look of it Raz is / will be getting a bit swamped.
And that's that.

Sad to see you go, and very thankful for the help you've given
Where are you going, and what are you doing there?

I'm going to go be a missionary for my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (aka, Mormon.) I'll be in the Orlando Florida region, learning how to speak/preach in spanish ... which is kinda funky, since I took German for 3 years and most of my current spanish language instruction has come from taco bell.
One major downside of going....no maille. It's actually a pretty intensive/time consuming project, so they ask that all 'hobby related materials' be left home. I figure I'll have to make up for time lost when I get back

No clue on why some of the pictures are doing that....but it seems to be coming up more often now. Any coders out there know what's up? Check submissions labelled 'submit problems'
As for format, it's pretty much just wing it. My personal style looks like this:
"Hey, this is Kyelek from the Gallery. We need a bit more info before approving your gallery submit:
Needed:
-Wire Gauge
-Wire Type
-Ring ID
-Weaves used
-Better Picture
Pm the info to <me/raz/whoever> and we'll get it approved. "
Something like that...
