I wanted to share with you an update on the progress with the site as well as some new features.

The Sacred Mists Academy website is now complete and live! On that site, you can enroll in new classes with your existing login and can access Sacred Mists Circle via the Student Login link in the navigation.

Now that the Sacred Mists Academy site is complete we are moving our full focus back to the Circle for continued development. You'll notice a couple of things that are new today, one being that every post from every member can be seen by everyone in the newsfeed rather than needing to be "friends" with someone in order to see their posts. The only posts that will not be seen by everyone are Groups posts. Those will only appear in newsfeeds if you are a member of the Group.

The other thing you can now do is tag students in your posts and they will appear on that student's profile as well as your own and in the newsfeed! This will help notify someone if you want them to be a part of a post or bring their attention to it. You can simply enter the @ sign and then the student's name and matching names will appear for you to choose from and include in your post!

Over the coming weeks you'll be seeing a lot of effort put into the Events calendar, Photo Albums, link previews in posts, better and more emoji responses, animated GIF responses for messages, a Friend Finder system to help you find new connections based on shared interests or location, post sharing, and other great new features. We'll also be working on making the Circle much more mobile-friendly.

We've are also migrating the lessons into the new system so that they will be accessible from within the Circle, everything accessible from one place which I think will bring a lot more daily activity, as well.

As always, if you see any issues or want to see something here that you think would make the experience even better, please let me know!

Many blessings and much love to all,
- Lady Lorien
