The Future of Paganspace... An Announcement

Since PaganSpace began in October of 2007 the vision for the site has grown, just as the site has grown and flourished.

I know I haven't updated lately on the new upcoming site but I've been steadily working on it and I'm also gaining some awesome help from one of the members here who is working on integrating the forum (one that is very similar to this one) and the member database. I'll be calling him next week to discuss (I'm very behind on making that phone call, so you know who you are and I'm sorry I haven't called yet...lol)

If you are unaware of what I'm speaking of above here's the link to the announcement about the upcoming site change over. It was scheduled to change over on September 1st (I'm trying to keep that deadline but there's still some issues that are being worked on, which are causing some delays and will likely push that date back a bit).

Once, the site is ready for beta (which should be by September 1st *fingers crossed* I will be inviting the sponsors, advertisers and those who have donated to be the first to beta the site. I felt that was only fair because they have helped so much in making this site and the new site possible. I'm not rich by any stretch, and PaganSpace relies on advertisers, donors and sponsors to remain online and continue to grow, if you would like to become a sponsor or donor here's the link or if you'd like to advertise here's that link.

I have decided to leave this site up and in tact via it's sub-domain (paganspace.ning.com) as a storehouse for all our interactions both past and present. Besides, everyone here likely has a lot of content that they wouldn't ever want to loose, so I think leaving it up so it can be accessed by the public is a good idea. We have almost 2 years worth of content/interactions here and I don't think throwing it away is fair to the members nor necessary. Although, the new site will facilitate all the new content

AND...Now onto even more future plans (Yep, there's more....I know you probably wish I would just shut up already....lol)

After the beta launch of the new site, I will be opening a new extension of PaganSpace geared toward media "PaganSpace Broadcast and Media". This will facilitate the long overdue future of Pagan Pulse Magazine and also help to facilitate radio, podcasts, magazines and other media sources including the latest, exciting, new endeavor with PaganSpace.net Live Broadcasts from events.

PaganSpace will be hosting it's on video and podcast streams featuring talk and music schedules. This is something I have wanted to get involved in for a long time now and as the site has grown I think the time has come to go forward with this idea.... Besides, it will be a lot of fun, and after sitting in front of a monitor looking at code all the time, I could use some fun...lol

So, soon I will be launching a new site dedicated to the above and when that happens I'm not going to kid myself, I will be needing help with these projects. So, be prepared I'm going to need a full crew of PaganSpacer's who have background in media, writing and so forth.

It's our community let's keep it growing!!

Much Love & Big hugs to you all
oh and sorry I'm so winded....lol

Looking forward to the changes - just because they are changes and involve direction etc - **smiling**.
Ok - not a expert by any stretch of the imagination with this horrendous projest that you have undertaken - and am trying to understand the implication of the "Beta" with how it will effect my archaic system.
I did look up what Beta entailed which in the end gave me no answers that I could fully appreciate or understand - BUT did find this which may help you in the final count down.
It may also be old hat to you Starfire, but then it may be just a word of help that could have been overlooked..so nothing gained is nothing lost.

Hi Starrfire:-)

I'd like to offer my services to the new Pagan Pulse Magazine. I would not wish to involve myself in editorial control, but I would be willing to work with amateur writers in a coaching capacity and provide graphic design support until you are well established.

Best regards,

Dar es Alrah.

Hi Starrfire,
I've been a graphic artist/designer for over 20 years with most of my experience being in newspapers and magazines so I would love to help however I can. I got burned out on graphics so went back to school and now I've also got professional training in radio/television broadcasting and audio/recording. Use me any way you can, I would love it.
BB,
Tracy

I also could help the magazine in the form of writing meditations. I lead a meditatioin group at home. Most of the meditations I lead are original. I could share some of that info.

Hi Starfire,

I have a question with my page here on paganspace- My comments are now at the top of my page and not at the bottom can I change this back? I know you have your hands full in getting everything ready for the change over; so when you have a chance to let me know how to do it-I would appreciate it.

Dear Starrfire! I can also help in writing and some cross over material from the club
of topics that are not subject to copy write or are written by me.

Thank you and All that have made this fantastic venue possible! We are indeed Blessed!

How wonderful when someone follows thier intuition on an idea and it leaps into fantasticly unexpected heights. Wow! Here is my question. For those of us that have had Psychic Radio Shows for the last year or two reading for National Callers, {mine is over 2 years old}, will there be a place for us to be featured on Pagan Radio? I am a firm believer that Psychic Radio {or Pagan Radio} is growing to amazing heights and the thought of being a part of a unique station such as you speak of is exciting..Good luck to your wonderful project. I love this site!
