Where is the "HELP" tab on AFI.....

Posted by Linda A Shields on April 7, 2011 at 2:54pm

I watched Art Fair Insiders from afar for months.....Why?

It was just too confusing for me to throw my attention into the process.

And that continues to this date. LOL

I see Larry Berman telling people their blogs belong under business. How do you do that?

I just saw a post about "Leaderboards." ( I was gratified to see my name there!)

I just keep feeling that we could tempt those 229 more people to join very easily if there were a FAQs or HELP section.

Now, the prolific AFIers can write me and tell me what I missed or am missing.

And, Connie, this is no criticism of this wonderful site you have built.....if anything, I care enough to want to help.

But I would like to hear from newbies.....are you confused?

How can AFI help everybody?

Thoughts, please?

What would that involve Linda? I guess OK. I will be on the road sitting in a truck with my computer on my lap;)

Daryl,

How would you like to be on the FAQ Committee? Our first assignment goes out today and I NEED YOU! Someone who does noy know the ins and outs and can ask those questions "old timers" will forget.

Please?

I too find the site very confusing. I am just now getting into it a little, but have sat here for 6 months trying to figure out how to put up a comment ( which I have mastered) but still do not know where to find the show reviews. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks Connie. I think that one of the things that the FAQ committee will need to address, is, how to do posts easily and how to attach tags to our posts.

I will gladly put reviews up of shows, just haven't done any since Thanksgiving. First one up is this weekend in Fairfax, VA. Then off to Gosport in Portsmouth, VA.

Now, before all of you say 'oh Ann Marie, you've had months off--just to watch soap operas & eat bon bons--I have been busy; teaching several classes, redesigning my booth, and redesigning the 'theme & focus' of my work. So, I haven't spent all my free time petting the cats, I have been productive. ;-)

Ann Marie, if you are talking about the ArtShowReviews.com site -- this is still in its startup stages and the reviews are just beginning to compile. Do a search for the name of the show you are searching for and if there are reviews they will immediately appear. In fact, as the show season is only really starting, its offerings are growing, but it hasn't hit its stride yet...love to have any reviews you can contribute to help it grow.

Looking for reviews on this site? Well, that is another question...if the authors of the reviews don't put the "tags" under the postings properly they can't get indexed and the reviews are hard to find. Tags are always added at the bottom and need to be in " ", i.e., "Bayou City", "Houston art fairs", etc.

One of my biggest problems with this site is the 'reviews'. I have yet to locate on a consistent basis actual reviews of shows. I scroll on down to the 'comments' section, and there is nothing there. Only occasionally do I find comments....what am I missing? Is there an easier way to search? When I go to the state sites, I don't find anything....help?

To everyone who responded: Thanks!

Give me the weekend and we'll find a format and get started.

I'm in! Thanks Linda for starting this and thanks Connie for agreeing to it!
