Hiatus

Wow, it's been a while!

Short story short: full-time university, part-time "real job", full-time dog parent.



Hope your life, whoever you are, is going aces, whereever you are.

I feel like everyone's busy and stressed atm. It's that time of year, maybe?

Bear with, bear with...

Absolootely in November has been a bit like this:


And for that, I'm sorry. It's a bit of a case of the snake eating its own tail- Absolootely helped get me a full-time marketing job, and that meant I haven't had the time or energy to blog.

I spend most of my spare time snuggling my dog and telling her how much I missed her while I was away working. That's my life.

Loving Absolootely as I do, I dedicated today to prepping a lot of new posts, which I'll stagger over the next few weeks.

Woooo, regular content!

Until then, here's a bit of a preview of what I did today and some things to look forward to....

Announcement: New Forum Open

If you look to the navigation bar, you may notice a bit of a change! We've replaced "Contact" with "Forum", which is pretty exciting!


Just a screenshot...

Looking around the web, we couldn't really find a place for people to discuss specific consumer problems and triumphs, so we figured it was about time someone created a place for that.

We used Talki to create our Forum, and so far it's been okay in our tests. It's definitely the best option for embeddable forums, but it seems to not work 100% with Firefox. The set up is nice and simple, and it's so cool that you can sign in with your social media accounts, instead of having to make a whole new account.

I know this is really boring, but please read the Guidelines & Rules post, which is located under General. We've made it nice and simple, promise!

Kate is the Moderator, which gives her total power (Mwahahahaha!). Talki only allows for one Moderator on the free version, so it's really just her doing the policing and admin at this stage. Keep that in mind.

Head to our new Forum and have a nosey round! Please sign-in, with one of your social media accounts, and say Hi :-)

Absolootely x Polyvore
