Closing Down For a Bit ...EDIT: Open again (see last post)

Hi, guys! ^.^

I posted about this in my RS blog, but thought I'd put a little blurb here, too ... just in case the blog drops off RS's front page before people see it.

I'm closing down my RS gallery for a bit. There are some "housekeeping" things I've needed to do for a while, and I decided I would just bite the bullet and get them done. Mainly boring stuff, like reorganizing the series list and separating out large sections, etc. I hate for the gallery to be in total disarray, so I'm closing it down while I do this stuff. I'm not sure how long it'll be closed, but it's a temporary thing. Once I get done with my "busy work", it'll be back up and running again -- business as usual.

I wasn't sure if anyone would notice it missing from the RS listing, but thought I'd put the word out, just in case. My main website will still be online, like always.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I was hoping I could prowl your gallery to get some insights into the new Saiyuki sketches I got. And the other one takes soooooooo long to load here at home ...

Seriously (

), good luck on your refurbishing. I know it needs to be done every so often (mine needs it on the physical cel-book level ...they really are a disorganized mess) and I know Blue Gecko will come back bigger and better than ever.

Eh, heh, heh ... It's nice to be missed ... I think.

Don't worry, though, Sensei ... you can still access the gallery if you have the URL. (You should be able to click through to it using the image on my signature block.) It just won't show up on the gallery listings, which ensures no one accidentally stumbles onto it while things are under construction.

Just wear your hard hat and watch your step if you decide to come in for a "prowl".

I posted in your blog, but I will recap briefly:

Don't close down! I need my bishie fix! Where will I get my fangirl rants?! WHERE?!?!?!?!?

I think your gallery is fantastic as is but I know whatever improvements you make will be worthwhile. Good luck and don't take too long!

As long as I can still sneak in through the back door....

Good luck on the re-vamp, and don't take too long or the poor unfortunates who can't get in for their Aya fix will go into withdrawal frenzy!

Oh heheheh! I didn't realize you had a main off-RS website. Now I won't have to bug you as much.

good thing i was wrong. good luck with the site upgrade.

Good luck with the construction work.

Hi again!

First off, thanks so much, you guys, for the kind and supportive comments. I've been such a poke about replying back in here, and I'm sorry for being so tardy in sending my gratitude to you guys. *gloms*

The construction work is done. Or, well, mostly done. I'm not sure you can ever call a website or gallery "finished". To me, it always seems like a work in progress. But, as I mentioned in my RS blog this morning, I managed to complete the big cosmetic changes I wanted to do. At least, I think I got them all. *is paranoid*

Many, many thanks, again, to everyone who posted in support of the re-do, either here or in my RS blog ... or who emailed me while the process was on-going. And, even more thanks to the people who have already checked out the new 'do and either posted in my RS blog or emailed me about it. I can't begin to say how much I appreciate it!

(sorry for such a long post!

)

Yay! Back in Blue.

I know I've said it, like, 500 times already, but I really love the new thumbnails!!!! I's so jealous.

*GLOMS Klet for being just about the sweetest person ever*

(And, one of the wackiest, too!

)

Thanks so much, Klet! *gloms more*
