FMC's New Year's Resolution is MORE!!!

It's the time of year for everyone to start fresh and FashionMomCafe is no exception! At FMC, our resolution for the year 2010 is MORE- More of everything, for everyone, for free!

Blog:

The FMC blog promises more posts about all fashionable topics and trends related to Moms, kids and parenting.

Archive:

Beginning tonight, the FMC line archive will begin a long upgrade process. You'll soon find more of the older, hard to find lines popping up.

Platinum Membership:

Platinum Membership to our forum is still just $12.99 per year. That allows you to buy, sell and trade as much as you'd like. Platinum Membership also gives you access to Group Orders, the FMC Galleries, once-a-month Platinum-only contests, an eBay Resources and Advice section and more. Starting today, Platinum Members will have one more thing to love about FMC- more space in their PM boxes. Platinum Members can now have a maximum of 750 stored messages in their boxes. Additionally, Platinum Members will also have another surprise in store for them, to be announced later this month.

Gold Membership:

FMC is now introducing a limited-time FREE buyers subscription called GOLD. Gold subscribers need only to have an application privately approved by moderators to gain access to our buy/sell/trade section. While Gold subscribers will not be able to participate in the full range of features available to Platinum Members, they will be allowed to reply to and purchase from threads in our Shops. Gold Subscribers are welcome to upgrade to Platinum Membership at anytime.

For more information, please see our free forum at http://www.fashionmomcafe.net

As always, Happy Shopping!

New J&J Preview Up!

New J&J pictures have come out today and we've GOT THEM! Check out our J&J page for a preview of the next few lines.

There are 2 girl lines: One with a Roman Holiday theme and colours and patterns seemingly inspired by the classic French Country line of 2005. The second is a pink patchwork line with STUNNING pink flip flops.

There are also 2 boy's offerings: The first is also a Roman Holiday theme with cars and the Leaning Tower. The second is a beach line, with surf boards and tropical orange flowers.

Also in layette are just a few new pictures- more peas for unisex as well as patchwork offered in pink, blue or green.

J&J Boys Lines are UP!

Phase One of our Janie & Jack boys archive is complete and up on FMC! The pictures date back to the Fall of 2006. Earlier lines to come soon!

And J&J fans, don't forget that Forever Friends and Floral Spring hit the stores tomorrow! For boys, the theme is hippos and girls is peach and lavendar floral patterened. Check out the pics in the J&J Preview!

This week in sale news: look for small markdowns at Janie & Jack tomorrow and big markdowns at Gymbo Tuesday night in anticipation of Baby Sale on Wednesday!

Happy shopping everyone!

Some Technical Difficulties

Please excuse our mess but we had a small problem last night while trying to do a major publish. As some of you may have noticed our site was down for a time over the early PST AM hours, but we've resolved that and are now trying to get the publish back on schedule and up. Because of these issues there may be some gallery images in the new Janie and Jack Boys lines that do not display correctly.

Rest assured that we have our IT team working on it and that we expect everything to be sorted in the next few hours. Again, we apologize for the problems and hope that you are having a great weekend.

Boys J&J! Upcoming Stuff...and the Gymbo Rumor Mill...

For anyone that didn't notice, we quietly added J&J boy's layette a few nights ago. I can promise you all that J&J boys lines ARE coming in the next few days. I apologize for the delay. Our tech guy was sick all weekend and is now backlogged a bit.

So what's next after all the J&J is done? Thanks to YOUR feedback, I am pleased to announce that next up is Gap! I've been slaving over Gap for several days now, figuring out what goes to what line. And just to give love to boys moms (and to make up for them coming second on J&J), Gap BOYS will be up on the site FIRST this time!

Now for the juicy stuff. In a call to ICR Xchange 2 weeks ago, Gymbo COO/CFO Blair Lambert gave some information about how Gymbo as a whole is doing. Given the economy, they are doing quite well! J&J, Gymbo, Gymbo Outlet and Crazy 8 all continue to grow.

The Crazy 8 news: Look for sweet, wholesome girl's outfits coming mid year. In boys, we'll be seeing less activewear and more all American boy type outfits. Most exciting is that there will be more newborn collections than in previous years.

The Gymboree News: Look for "Baby's First Wardrobe" as well as shower gifts in store. Organic baby line will continue. The most exciting news by far comes from the Boy's department. Boys lines have been increasing in popularity in recent year. Due to the demand, Lambert says this year there will be a new focus on introducing more accessories as well as "furnishings", though this was not elaborated on.

As always, you can find FMC on Facebook- Response has been HUGE and we now have 117 members! Thank you all that have joined us and all of you that continue to visit FMC!

Troubleshooting in FMC

I thought I would take a moment to address some of the concerns that have been voiced about using FMC. So here are the things we've heard buzzed about:

1) I can't click the buttons on the Nav Bar! I can't see the pictures! Help!
About 1% of the visitors to our site are encountering this problem, and luckily, it's an easy one to fix! All you have to do is go into your internet options and turn on "Javascript"- please note that this is different from just Java. Once Javascript is enabled, you should be able to navagate the site just fine.

2) The pictures are too big to put into my siggy on message boards.
This one is also an easy fix. If you copy and paste the image itself, it *should* fit into your siggy without getting an error message that it is too big. If however, you still feel it is too big, you can simply copy/paste the thumbnail image from the bottom of the gallery (this is the method I prefer). The picture will then only take up a very small ammount of space, and will be a link so that if someone clicks on that picture, it will open up the full sized image in a new window so there is NO mistaking what it is you're looking for.

Of course, we don't know what is inconvenient for you if you don't tell us, so please feel free to send an email with any questions, comments or concerns to FMCAdmin@Fashionmomcafe.com and one of us will take all steps to resolve your issue. Thank you all again for continuing to come to the site and for all the wonderful comments. It is a pleasure to share these pictures with you! Look forward to more updates this week.
