TYAL News (Important!)

Hi everyone,

First off, I want to thank everyone who has become a part of the TYAL community by subscribing to the RSS feed, telling their friends about the site, sending me emails about arts opportunities and contacting the organizations I’ve linked to in my posts. I’m sure many of you have noticed that updates are no longer as frequent as they used to be and that’s something which I will address in a moment, but I’d like to say thank you for sticking with the blog even when updates come only once a week, or sometimes even less! I hope this has been a useful resource for you over the past year and in saying so, I would like to discuss the future of this blog with you.
