Working on our art fair websites is a mission that gives me great satisfaction, but has a high cost in time and money. So glad you understand and I'm sending out a big thanks to the following people who get that and have contributed to our 2016 Pledge Drive.
Many of them have pledged every year! Big thanks to them. It is also always great when new names crop up. Honestly folks, just like NPR, we couldn't do it without you.

So glad we are helpful to you, JC. Its true, there is so much good information here. I hope you will not only ask questions (and send money!!) but share your insights also about what you have learned along the way. Reciprocity is the key to keeping the site working.
