HBN 3.0 Coming Soon | mrsmiley { June 06, 2009 }
I don't have any details to give out yet, other than if HBN goes offline here and there in the next month, please be patient! I will start the process of transferring the HBN database from Moveable Type to Wordpress this month, and it is a HUGE undertaking. With this, I plan on some pretty big improvements and upgrades to the Halo Babies community that will hopefully boost both user interaction, and site activity as a whole.
Big thanks to everyone who has stuck with us through the rough times. I love you all!

Happy Halodays Wild Card Winner | mrsmiley { January 13, 2009 }
In case you didn't know, we help a final round to the Happy Halodays contest last week. In the Wild Card round, all the members of HBN had the opportunity to vote for their own favorite submissions. There was a good response, and I think the winner is quite deserving for his efforts. For those wondering, the "twist" was that the artist of the screenshot was all we counted for points, not the picture they submitted. So if someone had 5 votes for one pictures, and 5 votes for another, we just counted the artist as having 10 votes.
Yay.
Read on for the winner and runner-ups that YOU chose, and stay tuned for the grand prize winner soon!
