The "recent posts" under the "community" menu has five tabs which include:

• recent blogs - shows the most recent blog posts only
• recent images - shows the most recent images
• my unread groups - shows posts, polls, & images from your subscribed groups
• my recent posts - shows your posts by date of most recent
• all recent - shows all activity on the ArtMetal web site by most recent date

Note that if you are not logged in or just visiting, you will only see recent blogs, recent images, and all recent.

Since we have been getting new members from various countries other than English speaking countries, we now have a new series of links at the top right hand column of every page which gives the user the opportunity to use Google's translation services on the artmetal.com web site. Try it and see if you like it. I hope it will help expand our community of metal artists.

Artmetal.com has a new moderator to help maintain the content on the web site. Rich Waugh has graciously accepted the position of ArtMetal Moderator while I am gone to Peru for the next two months. I will still be checking in when I have internet access, but there may be times in which I can't so Rich is going to help keep the site spam-free and keep the content appropriate for the sites mission. Please note his requests when he asks you to do something. He does have editorial rights.
