13 June 2009

Apologies for the long delay in updating this web site, but life has been so busy for me lately, and with the forum, now in it’s second month and being surprisingly successful, my time has been in much demand.

I have a section of my forum where members can create their own journals for their ant colonies and I also keep mine there, which I try to update as often as I can (generally weekly). Because of this I have decided to only update the journals on this web site once per month with a general overview of what has been taking place over the past month. If you wish to read more frequent and detailed journal entries you will need to join the forum.

To all Bin Lids: ProBoards, the company that supply the software and server for the forums, will only allow bin lids aged 13 and above to join any of the forums located on their servers. Sorry :-(

All colony journals updated.
