Happy Saturday SteemPh Fam!
Our Arts and Crafts Saturday writer/curator is away on a short break this week so I figured I'll take this opportunity to write a much needed News and Update post.

Once registration is complete only registered members will be able to retrieve their footers from the server. Unregistered members will not be recognised by the bot and therefore will not be issued a footer.
Watch out for the registration post and more details on this in the coming week.

Enter this week's My Favorites competition
@Romeskie has done a great job with the competitions these last few weeks and it's been great to see engagement increase. I felt like I've learnt a lot about you all and South Korea lol.
