Hey, Tartanvision viewers!

Check out Celtspace.com. It's the new forum where you can get together and chat, create your own blog, and even make your own personal profile. It's in alpha testing now, which means that we need you to join and try to hunt down our bugs so we can fix them. We're also trying to implement a lot of new features, and your input on what to do would be great! Check it out.

Celtic musicians - we're looking for musicians willing to offer their music on Celtspace.com. We'll host the files and get your name out there! Drop us a line at tartanvision@gmail.com.

Oh, and one more thing--we haven't yet automated all of the registration process. After you register, write a post in the introductions forum and we'll open it up so you can create a blog and edit your personal space page when we get a chance. We're working hard to make this automatic, but for now, it needs to be done by hand.

Thanks,
Matt
