RE:Artists Unite Website

The Artists Unite Website has been shut down for a couple of weeks due to errant maleware, and we just had it fixed. Apologies to those of you who tried to log on via the website and could not do so. However the Ning Membership Network was still open, therefore many of you may not have even noticed. If this should happen again, just go to artistsunite.ning.com. Thank you, Rosa (director AU)
