www.folklife.uk/opt-in:  on our other site, for Journal, Directory, and Folk News Updates
   We intend to move website from webhosts Weebly, as:  updates have stopped;  large price increases; and particularly layout problems, size variations when saving, type changes size & becomes bigger or smaller !,  and once in bold or italic or underline, can't later unbold etc.  So bad that we can't easily edit - too much duplication etc - we'll have to edit after moving.

    Suggestions welcome, bearing in mind we are print editors, without web expertise, with limited time.  Tech-savvy volunteers always welcome, especially anyone knowing about databases!    For example, our Index: Articles is a simple list, & would be better as a spreadsheet, & ideally a database.  What we really need is a webmaster ...

Due to this site's layout problems, we are using our other site https://www.folklife.uk : 
for our detailed subscriptions & advert info, see https://www.folklife.uk/info ;​  and for Updates (after 8/1/2025), see https://folklife.uk/updates

We have a test site for the move.   A possible new layout for each issue is on that test site, http://folklife-staging.webmate.me/ftj-01-08 showing the example for FTJ 01.
From Folklife, print & online publishers.
