I don't read everything on the site but saw a recent comment from Mike Heilman that he had done a show review and wanted to know where it went. Mike, you'll find that on ArtShowReviews.com, right here. It did not go into the vast wasteland, we got it, we posted it.
I just found this comment also:
I find it a little difficult to navigate around this site looking for just the right thread that I want to read. It's probably simple enough but it doesn't seem simple to me. This has become such an important repository of first-hand information for art fair artists that it is vital the data contained herein can be accessed swiftly and smoothly. I think it's a little cluttered and I have to hunt and peck each time I am looking to find information I am seeking on a specific subject.
If we all add "tags" to our posts it will help a lot. Try it --
then when you go to look for something click on the "search" -- it works, and the more accurately you "tag" your post the more likely someone will find it.
