Welcome Back
π Previously known as blogs and forums, the title was just too restrictive. The new page is called Community, so it can include any of those things and more. When I can, I’ve linked to the home pages of the artists. This way if they move blog host etc, you will still have a way to search for them. It is also why I’ve left the full links in rather than pretty them up.
