Happy Birthday Moonbeam13!Hello all
Today marks a very special day for someone, and since this someone is our wonderful team leader, $Moonbeam13, we wanted to write a journal to say...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIE!
Now a lot of you know Danie as the big chief of the Community Relations team, but I doubt half of you truly know how much of a hard worker Danie is. Not only does she have to look after us lively lot (and by “lot” have you seen how big the CV team is?!), but she works on copious behind the scenes projects on deviantART, making this place just a little bit more devious and better for all us Artists out there in the big dA community. Not only this, but she has to have a life at the same time!
Now we have decided to use Danie’s birthday for three things:
1. To wish her a very happy birthday (of course)
2.

Everyday we're CV'ingAs a Community Volunteer - I do as much or as little within the community that I feel comfortable doing. We're not pressured to do this and that, we don't even have to give a Daily Deviation every day, we choose how we promote our selected galleries/chats and forums and we're not fixed to any specific rule on how much or how little we do. But I do believe that it's important to share with you just what the community volunteers do and why we do it. More importantly it's so easy to get lost on this site full of many people - and miss out on the awesome that's going on. So I'm going to share with you exactly what the latest awesome is...
Project Educate
Almost every week since October last year the Community Volunteers have been working hard both independently and as part of small teams to bring You Project Educate.
Project Educate is about bringing forward art forms whether they are popular or overlooked and giving

Art History - Interview with Astralseed:iconarthistoryproject: :iconcommunityrelations:
As
part of Traditional Art History Month I will be interviewing some of
the Traditional Art Community, including your lovely TradART Community
Volunteers

Today it's the delightful ^Astralseed, your Community Volunteer for Traditional Art

:iconAstralseed:
Hi ^Astralseed, tell us a little about yourself and your style of Art.
Hi I'm Katy and I am not very good at talking about myself

. As far as my art style goes, I don't really feel that I have a particular style so to speak. I like to dabble in any and all areas of art which I possibly can and just absorb it all like a sponge. I think the style will follow eventually when I am more comfortable with the basics.
What is it that attracts you to Traditional Art?
Traditional art offers a lot of variety and options.

Did You Know - Beta Testing, [who?]

Another dAmn Interview! - LawraRandalaAnother dAmn Interview! is an interview series I've started up where I interview a deviant who is a regular in the dAmn/Chatroom area of deviantART, and ask them to share their initial and current opinons on that area of the site. I'd love some suggestions on how it can be improved if you have any, as well as any other questions you think should be asked. Thank you!
1. When did you start using dAmn compared to how long you've been on dA?
- I created my first account on December 2005, and around January 2006 I found the chatrooms... so pretty quick, I'd say.

2. Did you find yourself drawn to any chatrooms in particular when you first started using them?
- For years, I went to #devart only. I found a lot of people there that I felt connected with, and it didn't even occur to me to go anywhere else. But things have changed in there, and I've started 'wandering' around, so to say.

3. Have you made any

FAQ Revamp Pt 4: Prints FAQ MergerHi Everyone!!!
While we didn't get any extra time to focus on updating FAQs this week, we did see a major improvement launch on the Help & FAQ page. We are pleased to announce that the Prints FAQ is no longer separated from the Main FAQ!!! Prior to this change in order to even begin searching for Prints related information you had to click on the Prints section and then you would have the ability to search by keywords for anything related to Prints. To eliminate this problem the Prints FAQ has been merged into the main FAQ system. You can now type in print related keywords into the main FAQ and find all the information you need.
Please note nothing has changed in terms of the organization of the Prints FAQ everything should visually look the same, the only change is that the Main FAQ Search is now able to locate the Prints FAQs.
More updates to come soon

What's hot? - VectorRecently deviantART has added a new way to browse art. This article series is intended to feature art found by using the What's Hot? feature.
I'm doing the article series as a way to promote smaller facets of the larger categories, in hopes of sharing what I find and maybe you'll like it.
Today is April 26th, and here's What's Hot? in this category:

Urban Exploration #3Urban Exploration is the exploration of man-made structures. Usually these are abandoned ruins, or components that used to be part of everyday life but are no longer seen on a regular basis by the human eye. This series of articles aims to highlight exactly what Urban Exploration is, how it's achieved and the some of the best Urbex Photographers here on deviantART.

Have you heard of Les Ux? They are an underground group that works hard to restore unseen and often forgotten areas of Paris. Their most famous restoration was the Pantheon Clock. The group itself is divided into teams, and it was the restoration team 'UnterGunther' that undertook this mammoth task. Mammoth because the clock was buried deep beneath the Pantheon in France, completely inaccessible. Or not. For a whole year in September 2005, the grou

FAQ Revamp PT3

Mon Aug 6, 2012, 7:24 AM

Another busy week for the FAQ Revamp. Some new FAQs have been added and we removed quite a large number of FAQs, but have no fear the majority of the information removed was actually merged to create more beneficial FAQs or it was completely obsolete. Since the beginning of our project we have removed a total of 42 FAQs and added in 15.

The following are some of the things we have worked on this week.

Under My Account the section "My Earnings" has been added and three brand new FAQs have been created. FAQ 123 has been relocated here.

FAQ #97: How can I see how much money I've made?
FAQ #98: Can I cancel a check after it has already been processed?
FAQ #99: What should I do if I never received the check I requested from My Earnings?
FAQ #123: When will I receive my earnings check?

The deviantART>News section has been completely removed as none of them were relevant anymore

deviantFilm section was reviewed

Merged FAQ 671, 760, 761, 858, 863, 868, 869, 865 into a single FAQ to match up with the Collection Folders equivalent
FAQ #762: What is the Gallery Folders Feature and how do I use it?
FAQ #6: What is the Collections Feature and how do I use it?

Mergd FAQ 866 into FAQ #864: How can I add or remove deviations from my Featured Gallery section.

Merged FAQ 22 into FAQ #21: Where can I obtain the source files for the deviantART Mascot and logo?
This FAQ was also updated with the most up to date file sources.

Screenshots have been added to FAQ #6: What is the Collections Feature and how do I use it?

We've had a lot of great feedback in the past two articles. Thanks so much to everyone who's taken the time to leave some feedback. We are almost done reviewing all of the FAQs within our area and then we'll be cross checking each other's FAQs to make sure everything is completely up to date and include beneficial links where possible. We still have numerous FAQs we will be adding screnshots to so keep an eye out for those. We'd also like to expand the Direct Help Desk category links to CEA and Retail related FAQs.

Fantastic work you all are doing

Looks good!

`Itti Aug 6, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

And I just finished reading the last journal

Everything's looking good, guys!

$ewm Aug 6, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

Thanks! I've been trying to do the updates weekly. Lots of stuff is going on and I'm so happy to see these updates being put into place. There's still much to do but every little thing makes a huge difference

^pica-ae Aug 6, 2012 Professional Interface Designer

you can just download the logo?

and I traced it

now that was a waste

$ewm Aug 6, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

what was there before was pretty out of date. Now in the future you can download the nice pretty new files ^_^

^pica-ae Aug 7, 2012 Professional Interface Designer

Maybe I knew of the FAQ, but forgot immediately after seeing what was there

Anyway, this update is awesome for making custom bagdes on your external websites to link back to dA

I just wonder if there should be any more rules going along with this? Like "Do not use the Logo in any other color than the one's provided in these templates" or something

(I think facebook is very strict about that)

$ewm Aug 9, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

There shouldn't be any problem with this

^pica-ae Aug 9, 2012 Professional Interface Designer

okay cool

$namenotrequired Aug 6, 2012 Student Interface Designer

sent too fast.

Here comes mentioned question: I noticed earlier that I cannot make a link to the category 'Ban Appeal' or 'Account Ban Appeal', or at least when I try to, it doesn't work for me, since I'm not banned. Will this work still for banned deviants? How should I write it then?
