2008-07-20 [Ramirez]: I wonder if you guys would be interested maybe in adding another little section. Like perhaps during the gardening seasons or right before them suggestions of types of flowers and whatnot to plant, or gardening supplies/decorations that can maybe be bought through Elftown. Having people design some fairies or toads or something that can go in gardens for decorations, and the money can go towards keeping Elftown running so that anyone can donate designs for the benefit of Elftown. (I'm not sure of the actual costs of making such items though).

Or maybe another section about vacation spots that are outdoor-sy and have people review them who have been there and/or write about the history of them. Have maybe National Parks or other vacation spots. Who knows, just been thinking about the Herald a lot and how great an idea it was. I wish I had started reading it right away when it came out. Now I'm trying to catch up. XD

2008-07-20 [Chimes]: If you're interested in helping out yourself... maybe you should suggest it on Herald Hopefuls.
You may stand a chance of joining us. ^^

2008-07-20 [Ramirez]: I would actually really like to apply for a position, but I'm also starting college soon and I'm not sure how much time I'll have to invest in the position I'd like. And I don't think they'd appreciate it I joined and then had to take a leave of absence while I got my stuff down for college. =/

2008-07-20 [Chimes]: Then maybe you should submit some Herald Guest Submissions:]

2008-07-20 [Ramirez]: -gasps- Maybe I should! I'll look into it. Thanks. =D

2008-07-20 [Hendercrazy]: Yes, the Herald is always looking for new ideas and material! Way to "Chime"-in there [Chimes]. :P :) Sorry, couldn't resist that. Anywaaay... *walks off whistling*

2008-07-20 [Imperator]: Yes, I do like your suggestions [Ramirez]. I could contribute something about Florida for the vacation thingy. :-)

2008-07-20 [Chimes]: Ibiza for me.

Ahaha! Hender that was brilliant! :D

2008-07-21 [Mordigen]: Ramirez -- Thanks so much for the suggestions. Unfortunately, the Herald as no sway on ET merchandise or donations made through them -- that is something you would have to suggest and talk to [Hedda] about the reality of that idea before bringing it to the Herald :) 
And - We do already have a travel section included, that was written by [Faery], and even though she is retired now, she is still writing guest submissions for us from time to time --- so if you have anything to contribute to that, that is something we could definately feature since we already had it included in past issues :) 
So if you, or anyone else, has anything travel related - you can definately check out Herald Guest Submissions and send it over :D

2008-07-21 [Ramirez]: All right, I can go to the Suggestions forum and see if [Hedda] approves or disapproves of the idea. =D

And I haven't quite read all the Herald yet, so that must be why I didn't come across [Faery]'s traveling section. My apologizes! DX

2008-07-21 [Mordigen]: Hey, no problem - but the point was, since we have that section included, of course we'd take submissions for it ;D so you can send anything you have our way

2008-07-21 [Ramirez]: All right, I'll keep that in mind. =D

[Hedda] also decided that selling those things would be pointless since Elftowns Merchandise isn't selling very well as it is and doesn't want to have to bother with something else that will more than likely not sell well.

2008-07-22 [Mordigen]: Yes, I saw the conversation in the Suggestion forum. Makes sense though, but thankyou for the update and the suggestion anyhow :) We appreciate it!

2008-07-22 [Ramirez]: You're welcome. ^^ I hope that one day I can have the time to apply for a part of the Herald. Maybe some time after college starts for me and I know for sure I'll have time and some openings are waiting I'll apply. =D

2008-08-04 [Imperator]: Shouldn't "Issue 16, now published!" be "17"? And there's a ">" under the picture...

2008-08-04 [Mordigen]: Yes, it should be -- I thought I corrected that, thanks :)

and where is the ">" ? I do not see it :/

2008-08-05 [Imperator]: Uh... It's gone now. Never mind. :-)

2008-11-30 [Venus 53]: Gah thanks guys, now you've gotten me onto Steampunk! This could be dangerous... =P

2008-11-30 [Imperator]: :D

2008-12-01 [Mordigen]: So now that we have infected you with our theme, why don'tyou contribute! XD

08:34:03 [Venus 53]: ...I can't think of anything I can do =( Will try to come up with something though... =)
