We are so happy that you are here with us!

As you all know we had outgrown our old server and sadly they were not able to offer the kinds of things that I wanted us to have here at JDR. We looked long and hard for a place that would offer us as many new features and as much space to grow in as possible for a reasonable amount of money. Lo and behold...this is what we found! It has so many new bells and whistles that I don't know what to do with them all...yet. ;) So as long as our bandwidth and file space stays low we have a "free" server! We have a few ads, but I think we can deal with that! ;) SO we will ask you to continue to store avatars and siggy pics on a photosharing site. Thanks!

You will find the important items from the old JDR right here in a new and improved form and format. All of our clips and videos are reorganized and easy to find and access. Our old book discussions are here (minus anything off-topic) as well as our exclusive author interviews! All reorganized and easy to find.

One thing that was requested by us all was an archived system for Joanie's Gallery! We now have it! And it will be stored by month with a separate topic area for everyone to drool in and discuss Joanie's fantastic artwork! And please welcome Joanie as a Moderator here on the new JDR!

Our Rex Mundi discussion begins in a few weeks and we are looking forward to that as well as our Q&A with Arvid Nelson, RM's author.

Most all subjects have been cleaned out, dusted off, organized and filed. We also have a new area called JDR Goes to the Movies where we can post reviews and talk about current films. We also have a new area for you to tell us what you are currently reading, that doesn't have to have anything to do with Johnny.

So much to tell you...but I want you to look around, take your shoes off, get comfy! We have this big new space to call home and I'm glad you came along for this segment of the ride!

Lots to look forward to this year...Johnny's filming a musical!! YIPPEE!! P3 will have it's premiere(s) and a one day global opening....then look at what's happening with Shantaram! Deep breath! WOW!

Please spread the word to all that we've moved. Carol our web guru is redirecting our old links so that hopefully everyone will be whooshed over here...whizz bang fassssssssssssst!

Now...the *thank yous*.. to Anne (Jeppody) for her insight and tireless help, not to mention patience in moving and packing things up and hauling them over here! To Holly (Captainjacksparrow) for also transferring things over here and for being so good at finding dead links. To Joanie for lovely new banners and for her continued artwork and beautiful blends here at JDR! To Jesse from Click!Orlando for her guidance and patience. To all of our Mods, Merry K, NurseAnne and MomosanLA for their help and support! Last, but not least, thanks to our Web Guru Carol..who still has most all of her hair on her head...that's a miracle after dealing with me trying to learn html. LOL

OK....enough...so much to say...but so much for you to see! The board will officially open for posts Sunday, Jan. 28, so if you register now, you will be the first group approved and ready to go when we "go live" Sunday.

Thanks! Enjoy the ride on the NEW JDR!

Trying my first post since the move.
I was a memeber on your old board, but alway had trouble posting so I gave up.
This new place looks great. Lots to check out, thank you for all your hard work.

Welcome Wilma!

Well I made it.

I like, I like.

I like, first off, the fact that while posting you can see the previous posts (at least the last what 5 or 10) so that you can refer back to them. Very Good.
