I agree with Wendy and the others, I'm a big fan of TAW as an excellent value web hosting service, and I've had a few sales from it as well. But you still need to get out there and do your own marketing as well.

I'm picking up on Wendy's comment above (although I know we've meandered a bit off topic here), I wasn't aware that the new look site was delayed because of people not updating info. I updated mine right back at the start when Chris sent out the request, then there were problems with the image sizes resetting, then nothing more was heard so I assumed he was still trying to fix that. I just tried to go and log in and it won't let me, says my computer won't accept cookies (which it usually does so I need to figure that out). So I don't know where we stand at all.

Maybe if Chris reads this a bit of an update would help? My experience of trying to project manage anything is you need to set out a clear and realistic timetable, set deadlines then chase people to stick to them. Any problems which come to light which prevent the deadlines being met need to be resolved, the resolution communicated and the timetable revised if necessary. Otherwise I doubt many people are likely to action an email sent several months ago (and probably long forgotten if it wasn't dealt with at the time).

Thanks Helen if everyone just spends a little time tweaking their galleries within a couple of days you begin to see results,I didn't have a clue about all of this but picked up valuable bits along the way especially from my time on MG.

All you nead is the right words that relate to whats on your gallery i.e if you paint landscapes make sure your words are relevant to landscapes if it's abstract and so forth.especialy the title that comes up across the top of the blue bar in internet explorer i.e (impressionist-landscape paintings in oil buy fine artist john-smith)or (abstract-art on canvas by fine artist john-smith)

I hope you didn't find me being to bossy yesterday as it's all gone quiet,but I just wanted to raise the point,after it was mentioned that sales wern't being made by members.

That it could with effort be turned around to all of our advantage.

I didn't know at the beginning little snippets that work,I thought some people might wan't to know.
