4. Ramble
================================================== ==========================
I thought about writing a one line ramble this week, since with all the
new stuff coming up on Flash Kit I have been running around madly, as
have all of the crew!
But I am hoping that by sheer virtue of the fact that I keep typing something
may just appear! I can say it is quite a struggle coming up with a readable
piece every week, so I am opening the floor! I WANT your funny stories,
crazy anecdotes, terrible tales, or just interesting gossip to help fill this
section for weeks and months and years to come! So if you feel like getting
your name in here, fire through some of your scribbles! Send them to
webmaster@flashkit.com!
I would like to take some time out to give the Flash Kit dev team a pat on
the back I really cannot praise these guys enough, they take a crazy idea,
and between the user feedback, webmaster demands, and their own ingenuity,
some amazing things start to appear! Just wait for some of the new features
we are unveiling this and next week... (see intro) my hats off to these
guys!
We are also looking for your help in promotion as well! We want to share
Flash Kit, the arcade, the new sounds section, FLASHtyper and all the other
site goodies with the world! BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP! Make us your homepage,
tell your friends! Add us to every links engine you find, every little bit
helps, and the more it happens the more we can keep growing the site to
make it even more useful for you! If you have any really awesome ideas
please send them in as well, we would really appreciate it!!
Gee I hope I managed to get through this newsletter without too many spelling
mistakes, Scills always manages to find em... see if you can find this weeks
error Steve :DS
Thats it from me, till next week... Take care! -mark Webmaster

4. Ramble
================================================== ==========================
I thought about writing a one line ramble this week, since with all the
new stuff coming up on Flash Kit I have been running around madly, as
have all of the crew!
But I am hoping that by sheer virtue of the fact that I keep typing something
may just appear! I can say it is quite a struggle coming up with a readable
piece every week, so I am opening the floor! I WANT your funny stories,
crazy anecdotes, terrible tales, or just interesting gossip to help fill this
section for weeks and months and years to come! So if you feel like getting
your name in here, fire through some of your scribbles! Send them to
webmaster@flashkit.com!
I would like to take some time out to give the Flash Kit dev team a pat on
the back I really cannot praise these guys enough, they take a crazy idea,
and between the user feedback, webmaster demands, and their own ingenuity,
some amazing things start to appear! Just wait for some of the new features
we are unveiling this and next week... (see intro) my hats off to these
guys!
We are also looking for your help in promotion as well! We want to share
Flash Kit, the arcade, the new sounds section, FLASHtyper and all the other
site goodies with the world! BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP! Make us your homepage,
tell your friends! Add us to every links engine you find, every little bit
helps, and the more it happens the more we can keep growing the site to
make it even more useful for you! If you have any really awesome ideas
please send them in as well, we would really appreciate it!!
Gee I hope I managed to get through this newsletter without too many spelling
mistakes, Scills always manages to find em... see if you can find this weeks
error Steve :DS
Thats it from me, till next week... Take care! -mark Webmaster
