Just a reminder that the FC has been updated, and because it's MJ's birthday, we've done a whole slew of things with it. New template, new message board (but you knew that!), new wallpaper, new EE caps, and tons more. Check it out! www.mandanafc.com

Oooh, double-posting! Should have also pointed out, if you find any wonky links or oddities on the site, please don't hesitate to let me or romanmachine know. As well, let us know what you think of the site and the new template. We know, it's not blue, but we're hoping it's pleasing to the eye nonetheless. Suggestions, criticisms, comments are all welcome. But not donations.

The weekly update for the FC is up. Not as crazy as last week (!), but we do have some really nice caps up from "Coming up for Air". We go by the motto "quality over quantity", so rather than 20 shots of MJ in a bikini, we've got two or three. In fact, two or three is just about our limit on caps from one scene, simply because, well, how many do you need? Let's simplify, and try to put out the best stuff we can, rather than just throw a ton of stuff out to you, yeah? And let me just say to RM, who takes the screenies, you've got a great eye and always seem to capture just the right shot. www.mandanafc.com

But not donations. oh, damn. Are you saying there won't be a shop ? Nice updates! No, no shop. But I'll gladly make you a piece of art in Photoshop using screencaps without permission, and charge you money for it if you ask nicely! The FC has been updated for the week of Mar. 12th, so check that out. Screencaps from the Kohler commercial as well the commerical itself (if you didn't see the link on the board) have been added.

I don't advertise every update, since I figure anyone reading this knows about the FC (and if not, I'm genuinely curious as to how you found this board- please contact me and let me know!). But every now and then I like to let you know what's going on with it. First, let me say that this being April 1st, I was sooooooooo tempted to whip up a fake homepage for the FC! All in blue with ads and PayPal buttons EVERYWHERE! But alas, by the time my clever id poked me with the idea, it was already 8pm and I was too lazy to do it. That being said, with it being the 1st of the month, that means RM has designed a nice monthly calendar for your computer desktop, so check that out. And she also designed to cool icons to advertise the site. Spread the love! Support the site! Or, you know, gaze adoringly. Your choice. And, as always, the Screencap of the Week. A bit cheeky this week.

Meant to mention this last week- I just take it for granted you posters already check out the FC on a regular basis. That being said, last week we had 4 new pics (and I think they'll be particularly new for North American fans) donated by an anonymous fan, and I badgered romanmachine started an "Icon of the Week" feature to go along with our "Screencap of the Week". These things like Icon of the Week and Screencap of the Week are small regular editions, but we want to give to give the impression that we are always on top of the site- by that I mean, we want fans to know that, despite the lack of any real new news about Mandana, we're always going to do something with the site, even if it's something small.

Just thought I'd post this for fun- it's a sampling of the people who have visited MandanaFC.com this month. (Our Statcounter shows the city/country in which the IP # is located.) -Texas -New York -St. Petersburg (Russian Federation) -Quebec -Ontario -Tennessee -Virginia -New Jersey -California -Connecticut -Florida -France -China -Greece -Israel -Tokyo -Valencia (Spain) -Netherlands -Warsaw -Iran (!!) -and, of course, many, MANY from the United Kingdom Thanks to all who visit- it's really neat to see how far and wide MJ fans are located! And to the person living in Reston Virginia... for some reason, your IP provider logs you every time you go to a new page on the site, which is quite odd. When I look at the stats and see 200 page hits, I get all excited... then I see you're responsible for 10 of them. Not that it diminishes my excitement, mind you. LOL!

Really liked the jigsaw feature last week. Maybe you could challenge us all by doing one with the tinier pieces.

Yeah, we'll definitely go back to the jigsaw puzzle idea in the future! For those who might not know, we've come into possession of a LOT of Mandana clips (thanks, helpful fan! ) which we're now breaking down into smaller files and getting screencaps. This week, we've posted 10 caps from "London Bridge" and 10 from her first stint on "Doctors". As we always say when we post caps, we go for quality over quantity, and would rather post 10-15 nice caps that give a good overall feel of the performance, than 110-115 caps that are just frame by frame captures. Some people like the choice you get with 100 caps, but we hope fans will also appreciate not having to wade through row upon row of thumbnails. We're working out an idea for these video clips in terms of where we will host them. However, if anyone has web space they'd like to offer up to host a clip (or two or your choice ), that would be gratefully accepted. PM either me or RM, or email us!

Really excellent screencaps. I think, if I had to choose screencaps from those performances - London Bridge and the 1st Doctors - I would have made the very same choices! They show the range of emotions and are all flattering. Never quite understood why anyone would put a photo up of someone they admire that is either completely unflattering (without being a deliberate part of the performance, obviously) or the shot caught has the subject's eyes in mid blink!
Glad the jigsaw idea will re emerge, especially now you have new material.
psst...the screencap of the week page seems to have a fault....

It's Sunday (well, technically, now Monday), so there's been a new update, of course. What we've decided to do (RM came up with the plan, actually) is to have screencaps of two appearances one week, then follow it up with video clips from those two appearances the next week. So, we had London Bridge and Doctors screencaps last week, which means- you guessed it- LB and Doctors video clips this week. Screencaps this week are from The Saturday Show (children's program) and a rare video interview when the BG cast were in South Africa. Their radio interview has been available for a while, but this is a nice hard-to-find treat. (Our immeasurable thanks to the person who sent all this in to us!) As well, RM has done a very cool calendar for June, so we hope you'll find a bunch of things to check out this week!

As per our idea last week, the Saturday Show and South Africa interview screencaps are this week's video clips. This week's screencaps are from the brow-raising Robin Hood, and Holby City. Video PageRobin HoodHolby CityWe've also created a Free DVD page to help you keep track of what we've posted thus far and what then will be on the DVD(s) we're offering.

Hi all, Coolbyrne and Romanmachine, I had the itch to say how grateful I am for all your work with the site. It’s become totally addictive and visiting MandanaFC has become a part of my Monday routine. There are so many cool things there! Thank you.

Just a quick apology for those who tried to get on the FC yesterday and couldn't- for whatever reason, our file host, ripway, was down for periods of time. And to mevoila, thanks for leaving the praise!
