The "Daily News" is the photo ads you have been seeing for about a year now. There are "thumbnail" images layed out in a gallery that shows what each ad is about and a title for that image. When a person looking at the ads sees something they are interested in the click on the thumbnail image and can then see a full-sized picture along with whatever text the advertiser puts into the ad. If they click on the large photo - they are taken to the advertisers website or whatever specific page the advertiser wants them to land on within their site.
We used this system for the Daily News for several months on DigitizersWorld but we are closing the DigitizersWorld site (WE ARE NOT CLOSING ATW!!! Just DigitizersWorld) and had switched to using the new site "EmbroideryFair" and a blog/photo-gallery advertising system. While a lot of people like the new system, there are many who really liked our old Daily News better. I can't run the Daily News out of DigitizersWorld because it is closing, but I can set up the same system here on ArtisticThreadWorks and I've decided to do that so those who liked the Daily News can still see it every day.
Anyone who wants to advertise in the new Daily News will be able to just by being a member of ArtisticThreadWorks. And since there are many people who would want to advertise but are not interested in downloading our designs or many of the premium features of ArtisticThreadWorks, we are creating an "Advertiser-Only" membership level on ATW that will cost only $5 per month for membership. I think many of the digitizers and owners of websites related to embroidery will want to advertise in the Daily News, especially with the great price of on $5 per month. Our full members of ATW (ie: all of you reading this) can also run ads in the new Daily News and that will just add some more interest to the ads since most of our members tend to advertise things like machines they no longer need, fabric they have accumulated too much of, and similar "yard sale" items within our niche. Of course if a member is also a digitizer they will be able to run ads for their designs in the Daily News too.
The new Daily News will take a couple more days for me to complete the setup work on so my target date for launch is June 15th. It might even launch early. Watch your email and our website for announcements on "The New Daily News".

I am very glad that you are bringing back the daily news. I have not joined the Embroidery Fair because I haven't decided if I liked it enough to join just yet. I donot like all the reading that comes with membership. I want more time to spend embroidering.
Lately I am finding I spend most of my crafts time on the computor and do not get anything done. Joan Hoffman
