Big problem - Weebly who host this website state
"we can only commit to supporting the Weebly editor until July 2025".
We were in any case thinking of moving as there have no updates and price increases, and layout problems, particularly size variations when saving, type changes size & becomes bigger or smaller !, and once in bold or italic or underline, can't later unbold etc.
We need to move, and incidently have less restricted layouts etc. We can't do much till May, after our Folklife West magazine is out.
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!
Due to layout problems, Updates after 8 Jan Update are now on our other site, on https://folklife.uk/updates

Our readers
The sort of people who might well be interested but just don't know about you.
Whilst we do have members who are e.g. members of TSF, EFDSS, etc, and know all about what you do ...
... many readers are not in any sort of organisation, and most also will not have academic library access.
This does not mean they are not interested !!
Accordingly, contributions do not have to be original - they could be cut and pasted from your existing web article(s).
If you look at the Index: ISSUES on this site, - an index of all FT issues, which gives a flavour of what we do - links to all FT issues as PDFs
BELOW --- an example full-page article follows a note on using Word Footnotes & Endnotes

Using 'Word' Footnotes and Endnotes
For any notes: please use endnotes.
Please do not use footnotes. They don't work! when transferred out of Word! ......... Text goes missing, numbers get lost!
You may be able to convert footnotes to endnotes
I can't do this - I have an old "Word for Mac 2011", but thanks to Lesley Adkins for this about Windows version :
