My dog... Updates!Update:
Hey Guys,
Over the last week, Rocket has been recovering well! She has sphincter ontrol about 90% back, an she is walking and sliding around. She is still basically bunny hopping at times, and doesn't have the strength to stay up for liong, but she is on the road to recovery!
Thank you all for your kind wishes. It means so much to both of us!

Hey Guys
So, I have for the last 4 years had a wonderful Yellow Lab Mixed with Terrier and Pitbull. She is a gorgeous dog, and one that I love dearly. We got her as a rescue when she was just a few months old, and quickly we found her name... "Rocket". She can jump straight up and down almost 6 feet, able to grab toys from way above our heads. However, this sadly may have been her downfall as well.
In the last week or so, she started displaying symptoms that were not healthy. First she was unable to hold her feces, and we assumed at first that it was a dietary i

Sta.sh Writer HTML ImprovementsHey Folks

As you probably know by now, Sta.sh Writer is a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) writer allowing you to see a live preview of what your journal, blog, poem or story will look like and edit it's appearance by highlighting text and clicking buttons.
What are the Improvements?
One of the more common pieces of feedback we get from deviants about Sta.sh Writer is that it's not as useful for power users; people who want more control over their layout and want to be able to use their own HTML to give what they write that extra bit of flare.
So what has been done about it?
To make Sta.sh Writer the best it possibly can be for anyone who uses it, we have made Sta.sh Writer into a WYSIWYT (What you see is what you type) editor
This means that you can seamlessly use both the WYSIWYG editor and your own custom html at the same time, and without everything being converted back to WYSIWYG every time you edit

Beta Testing: New Thumbnails ReviewEarlier today, #devBUG released the new deviantART thumbnails to Beta Testers. Here's my review of it, with things I loved, things I didn't like and ways it could be improved.

What I loved
The new thumbs themselves. They look great!
What I like most with the new thumbs, is what they've done with the larger deviations. It's safe to say that I won't miss those skinny, hard-to-click thumbnails (which are usually in the Tutorials gallery or deviantART Suggestions).
Left-alignment. Unlike most of the community, I actually like the left-alignment. I guess it's just a preference. It just looks better to me.

Literature Thumbs. These are probably my most favourite thing about the new thumbnails. They look more professional and I'm digging the lighter look! Now I know almost nothing about literature, but I'm sure the literature community wi

1. How did you discover deviantART, and what made you stay?
I was introduced to DeviantART by my former best friend :devdreamdangerous: in 2003. I have no idea how she got banned, she was pretty snarky, so I'm sure she was snarky to the wrong person. She also introduced me to the art of ~silverbane, whom I fell in love with. I enjoyed the community of DeviantART, and falling in love was an added appeal.

CSS Contest: Pure & White - EndedWhile people love to work on skins that burst with colors, it is now time to take a step back and try something new.
Not everybody feels comfortable using white, but this time it will be your challenge! Do you feel ready for it?
For this contest you have to create a new design or skin that uses white as the dominant 'color'. You are allowed to use only one additional color, but can use any shade of grey. There should be no black added to your entry either!
Only exception to this would be very small buttons and 1 smaller photo to enhance your entry.
Create something clean, fresh and pure that will enhance your own experience or those of random guests and visitors.
If you are not a coder feel free to create a design, if you know your business go ahead and create a complete skin. Choose on your own if it will be for a journal or a gallery.
Inspiration:
Those examples do not match the description above 100%, but they should give you an idea of the contest theme and point in t

deviantART Related Collaboration Contest

...and the contest is closed! Thanks everyone for the entries, judging will commence now.

Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the #communityrelations sponsored deviantART Related Collaborations Contest

Where you have six weeks to work together on any work in the dA related category. A quick overview;
This contest will be open to all mediums in the deviantART Related main category, as well as dA tutorials and dA avatars.It will run from today (3rd April) to May 15 2012. Your entry must be submitted between (or on) those dates!You can participate in three ways (see the bottom of this article for examples);Work on your own based on an existing dA related deviation (with their permission if needed; e.g. find a visual suggestion and make a browser script to make it work).Collaborate with another artist on a piece in one medium (e.g. make a stamp or devID together.)Work together to create two related deviations (e.g. a

Daily Deviations UpdateHappy Monday Morning

I started this morning by signing something "Moonbam13" so either this typo means I need more coffee, or this week is going to be BAMTASTIC!
I'm rooting for the latter

I wanted to post a quick update on changes to Daily Deviations. It is important to note that these changes have not been hard-coded so my team is manually following these new guidelines. This means that errors can and likely will occur until the coding is complete, your patience and understanding is appreciated

The following guideline changes are in effect:

The 3-month rule is now the 6-month rule, meaning that it must be at least 6-months since the last time an artist received a daily deviation. (This was an overwhelmingly popular suggestion from the community and I agree, it's a good one!)

Daily deviation selectors may only select one daily deviation per day maximum. This has been put in place to focus on Quality vs Quantity.

That's why I only donate to legit, certified charities/organisations like UNICEF and the Red Cross or, even better, to local ones like that priest nearby who runs a kitchen for poor kids.

One of the girls at work showed me it, but something didn't sit right with me. glad I'm not the only one. It's good that it's bringing aareness so people are exposed to it and maybe one day the awareness to this will help bring change. But, they are mostly cheating people of money. that is far too much to spend on staff etc.

I donate to comic/sport relief which gives aid to africa, and has better results as they go out themselves to bring change and help people. it's pretty much a big PR campaign for a lot of companies but it usually rakes in over £60 million (it his 74 million last year) which helps all sorts of people in africa and the UK.
