Hi, Nancy!
I am in the process of re-establishing the pages and forums that Lorelei
originally hosted at Ning. Before the Ning site went down (conscious
decision by Lorelei due to increased hosting fees at Ning), I captured
as much content as I was able to, from both the LaceIOLI site and the
NeedleLaceTalk site. Shortly after I started the process of putting
that content up on a new host at laceioli.org, I was deployed for a year
with the Guard. I had hoped to be able to continue the process during
my deployment but was hampered by often slow to nonexistent Internet
service. I am home from my deployment and resuming the process of
loading content to the new site. Due to the way Ning was set up, I am
having to do everything manually, so it will be a slow process.
I haven't tried Lorelei's lynxlady.com site since my return, but my
understanding is that her brother was going to keep the site up for the
foreseeable future.
As for laceioli.org, if you have any issues signing up or posting,
please contact me privately and I will do my best to help you.

Fellow Arachnids:
It was with some distress that I learned at Convention of the deaths of
several lacemakers, including Lorelei Halley in April. I had forgotten, if
I knew, that LaceIOLI had moved off ning to www.laceioli.org. I don't think
I ever got to laceioli.org to sign up, so I'm really out of the loop. But
the passing of Lorelei is a tremendous loss to the lace community -- she
contributed so much and helped so many.
The end of her obituary says she desired her webpages, www.lynxlady.com, to
be maintained, but I'm getting a "site can't be reached" error message when
I try it, or when I try laceioli.org. So my question for you all is: is
anyone working to restore those sites that Lorelei put so much work into?
and a related question -- why was ning abandoned and was all that info
moved over?
I'm asking because I'd like to see the info recovered and made available
again, but before I bother Lorelei's sister or do anything further, I want
to know if someone else is doing something already. Is someone??
TIA.
