www.folklife.uk/opt-in:  on our other site, for Journal, Directory, and Folk News Updates
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!    For example, our Index: Articles is a simple list, & would be better as a spreadsheet, & ideally a database.

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 Jan 2025), see https://folklife.uk/updates

We have a test site for the move, but no time to work on this before May, as above.   
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.
