As a reminder: don't forget that you need to copy and paste the alt-webring ring code into your blog before you will be activated. There are about a dozen blogs which are inactive right now because they're only showing the old RingSurf code. If you aren't sure how to find the new ring code or how to add it to your site, just send an e-mail to msmorenna (at) gmail (dot) com or leave a comment here.

RingSurf Progress and Name Change

I finally have control of the RingSurf ring again, so I can delete it yet again.  I never did get a reply from their support people but it appears that there was a server problem and they restored the data from an old copy.  I am once again deleting blogs and will then delete the ring itself.

As always, feel free to let your fiber friends know they are welcome to join the ring at alt-webring.com.

Name Change
You may have noticed that the name listed under "About Me" has changed.  Morenna is actually the name of my primary online gaming character. Much as I would like to claim it as my own invention, I cannot. I actually saw it at a fiber festival many years ago and borrowed it to name my game char. It has since become something of an online alter-ego for me. Over time, I came to the conclusion that it's a bit unfair to Robin Edmundson for me to continue to use the name she came up with for her company, regardless of how beautiful that name is. (By the way, Robin dyes gorgeous rovings and yarns. You really should go check it out. I'm particularly fond of the Hummingbird colorway.) So I have changed the name associated with my blogs. Yes, it's confusing and I'm sure it'll aggravate some of you, but it's the right thing to do, so I'm doing it. My apologies to Robin.

The new name is Ruby Louise, which is a combination of my grandmothers' names. I find this particularly appropriate since both of my grandmothers knit, crocheted, and/or quilted. I actually have my paternal grandmother's knitting and crochet tools, including one sweater in progress.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know in case you were confused by seeing Ruby Louise instead of Morenna.  It's still me.  You can still send e-mail to me at msmorenna (at) gmail (dot) com.

If you have recently joined the ring, but haven't yet appeared in the welcome list, check to make sure you have pasted the alt-webring ring code into your blog. There are about 15 blogs which have registered but cannot be activated because of missing ring code or because they still have the old ringsurf code. If you have any questions, send me an e-mail and I'll try to help. msmorenna (at) gmail (dot) com.

Spoofed

My e-mail account was spoofed today. It also appears that my "frequent contacts" list from gmail was used to send spam advertising electronics equipment. I have changed my account password as a matter of course, just in case the account was compromised. My apologies. If it's any consolation, I even spammed myself. Twice.

It also appears as though the RingSurf ring is no longer under my control and has been regenerated.  I have sent e-mail to their admins. We'll see what happens.

The Ring Surf Ring is No More!

I have finished e-mailing all the members of the old ring and deleting all the blogs from Ring Surf. In a week or two I will delete the old ring from Ring Surf as well.

With any luck more former ring members will continue to join up at alt-webring. Feel free to spread the word about our ring to your fiber friends. The more members the merrier, right? :-)
