1. Reflections
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly a year can fly by. I've made it a practice over the years to sit back and reflect on the year, what went well, what didn't and where I'd like to see the new year go. A year can bring a lot of lessons and without reflection it's hard to ensure that you've taken away everything important from it. I apply this personally and to deviantART and it's that time again

I got to sit next to Felicia Day and help conduct our interview with her at SXSW. I'm a pretty big fan so this was very cool. Our presence at SXSW was also a v

The Art of Code
As written by `ginkgografix in the Guide to the deviantART Related Gallery, The browser scripts and extensions category is for scripts that add new functions to (or modify current functions of) deviantART.com. Commonly these scripts are installed through Greasemonkey, but some are designed to install through web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox. Keep in mind that this category is for functioning scripts, not just ideas for scripts.
This is perhaps one of the most resourceful types of dA Related deviations

But, how do you create these? In order to find out, I interviewed a couple of creators of scripts, user styles and apps.

Please tell me briefly about yourself and

A chat with #dt #dt

Are you a geek or developer and interested in the inner-workings of deviantART or what it takes to maintain a website as large as this?

#dt (deviousTechnology) is the department at dA responsible for coding all the cool features & squashing all the un-cool bugs. On Tuesday, July 19th they'll be coming together in our #auditorium chatroom to answer some of your nagging technical questions.

So don't miss this opportunity to hang out with the geeky side of deviantART!

When?

An Absurd Interview not required

It's not required from me to say hi but I'll say it anyways: Hi! And welcome to a new edition of Absurd Interviews: Being absurd before it was too mainstream.
I suddenly remembered I had this interview in my notes for so long, I had to publish it as soon as possible. Why? Because apparently I'm like Dory and I tend to forget... stuff...
Oh hi!

And welcome to a new edition of Absurd Interviews: Being absurd before it was too mainstream! Today I bring you a deviant with no name required: $namenotrequired!

Hello person with no name required! We know your name is not required but if you could have any name, what would it be?
Hello!

I may not have named my account, but my parents did name me – and I like the name they gave me, Bart, just fine to keep.

Community Corner

dA related has a nice community full of fun people and helpful deviations! Here’s some nice places and people to check out for everyone who’s interested in it

_{| #deviantART-Related | #dARelated | ~darelated |}

#deviantART-Related - an unofficial group that is about the entire dA related gallery. Updates, news, and of course submissions of all types dA related

#dARelated is the official chatroom for the gallery. Here, official and unofficial chat events and games take place, and outside of those you can often find people in there too for a general chat.

If you want to learn CSS to create journal skins, ~eCSSercise is a great space to learn!

`ginkgografix has been mentioned before – she has done a lot of work for the dA related gallery, providing great deviations in many of the devious categories as well as resources for people interested in it! Her previously mentioned Overview of dA related is like a treasure chest for anyone interested in this gallery and community.

^ladygagz is an enthusiastic member of the community, running dA related groups, interviews, and news updates with features. He is soon bringing his article series "A Week in dA Related" back!

Watching or at least visiting these deviants is much recommended.
