We are very excited to announce the opening of pattytube.com! We've just launched and have not beefed it up with a ton of videos yet. We've put about a dozen in there, and will begin the process of adding more videos weekly - daily -- however often we need to. It's a long process to get so much of my old Patty collection transferred over.

Just like with Youtube, users can watch, register, comment, and rate videos. At this time I have disabled the embedding feature. It's possible in the near future I will enable this again, but for the time being, to share the videos, you will need to send a link.

Are you unsure of how to continue helping Patty race to find the missing millions on Drive4COPD?

Fans have been sharing their creative ways of getting loved ones to screen, we've posted a few below to help give out a few ideas! Thanks everyone who sent/tweeted them in!:

Bianca: We set up a tiny table at mom's party the other day, and I brought my laptop down. I hit up every friend, aunt, uncle, cousin, etc that left through the front door to screen. It was easy, and quick. They all knew to vote for Patty but I wore a Patty tee for good measure!

Andrew:I've been trying to get a lot of co-workers to help me out. Yesterday I walked down the rows of my department, cube by cube, to ask everyone to screen and vote for Patty. It worked better than the mass email I sent out. I don't recommend it when the boss is around :D

Megan:I brought it up in the computer lab with my class - so they would already be in front of a computer and could easily go log on and vote! Just about everyone did!

Until the COPD campaign is over, we are tightening up the message boards. I hate to since we've already done it once recently because of spam bots, but PLN & PLFANS.COM are specifically here for Patty's fans to discuss & read about Patty, NOT to be harassed by others.

If you join the forums, your account will create, however you will have no posting nor viewing access until one of our board staff members personally activate your account.

I believe the campaign is over at the end of the year, and at that time, we will lift the activation requirements.

If you have any errors in attempting to sign up because of this, please email me at cole@patty-loveless.net, and I'll set up your account for you. Please include your desired username, as well as the email address you would like associated with your account.

Flat Patty is currently in Missouri, visiting PLN'er Alayna. Be sure to check out FP's blog and see what she's been up to this week on her visit! You can check back tomorrow for more of her photos- and her new blog! Flat Patty's been popular and the blog is getting a lot of hits, so I'd like to move her blog to something hosted on a different server to save on PLN's bandwith :) The addition of PattyTube (which we'll be unveiling within the next week!) required a lot more resources and funds than I anticipated it to, and I want to keep PLN running smoothly and quickly!
