Some incredible news in the newsletter today! Check it out! inkblotart.substack.com/p/january-ne...

InkBlot Art @inkblot.art · 28/11/2025

Hello all! We have another short but important newsletter about a 2.0 update. As always, the text is too long for the body of a bsky post, so you'll find it in the ALT text of this image!

Sorry for the late update everyone! The holidays and personal life caught up with us this past week, but we want to make sure we do update you. As of the 25th, our Dev added our post blur to the site. Adding our CW tags was giving him some technical difficulties, but he should have that added shortly. Our support team will then be testing both of these, to make sure they work properly, and that the CW tags are easy to use and understand.

Once this is underway, we’ll have a better idea if anything needs to be changed or fixed before launching these tools, and the site! We apologize for the delays, but would also like to thank you for your patience.

"Site Transfer Update
First and foremost, just in case you didn't see, but at the top of your InkBlot homepage once you're logged in - there's a place to see the current status of the site !

The Dev hard at work on the transfer ran into an unforeseen technical issue which will unfortunately delay the launch of 2.0. He's hard at work getting us back on track and Jay should have a video update for you all on it in the next couple of days. We apologize about another delay, but please understand this one was out of our hands! (For once Bo wasn't let into the server room to chew on cords /j)

We appreciate your excitement and your patience so far, and look forward to sharing more information with you in Jay's video in the coming days."
