Newsletter
Issue 2 : December 2002
Greetings!When you subscribed to this newsletter, I promised that you would not receive more than one message a month. Well, I've kept my part of the bargain, because StencilSearch.com has been online since November 2001, and this is only the second newsletter!
UPDATES
It has been a busy year at StencilSearch.com. There are new links, artists, stencil shops, and articles, but best of all is the new search engine. This search engine indexes only stenciling sites, and more specifically, the stencil product pages of those sites. This allows you to search across many stenciling sites for specific design themes. If you haven't checked it out, please give it a try!There is also a new Sales/News page to keep you up to date on any stenciling news and specials the Stencil companies are offering. Take a look to see how you can save on purchases from some of your favorite designers, like Royal Design Studio and Stencils by Nancy (who has some adorable Christmas designs). If you know of any sales or announcements, please contact us. There is no charge for listings on this or any page of StencilSearch.com, so please share any info you have.
FEATURES
This month's featured Web site is The Stencilled Garden, the featured artist is Laura Ross, from Warsaw, NY, and our newest article is on Plaster Stenciling from Victoria Larsen. And don't miss the featured book, The Stamped and Stenciled Home, by Doris Glovier.ARTICLES
We're always looking for good content for StencilSearch.com. If you have an area of expertise that you'd like to share, please consider submitting a short article. Accepted articles are featured on the front page of StencilSearch.com, and include author info and a link to the author's Web site. If your article is accepted, you will receive 1000 impressions of ad space, free of charge, in addition to free non-rotating placement of your ad (125x125 pixels) on the page where your article appears. For more information on submitting an article, click here.THOSE ANNOYING ADS
We're all tired of the barrage of internet ads that pop up everywhere we surf. And even though ad space is now available on StencilSearch.com, I promise that you will NEVER see irritating POP-UPS or obnoxiously over-animated ads on this site. Banner space is being offered at reasonable rates to help offset the costs of running and maintaining the site, but ads are only accepted from stenciling related businesses, and must be attractive so they enhance rather than detract from the site. For more information on advertising, click here.WHAT'S NEXT
Many improvements are planned for StencilSearch.com in the coming months, including the addition of a message board and artist portfolio pages. As new features and content become available, I will include them in the newsletter. If you have any suggestions for improving StencilSearch.com, please send them via the contact form.Happy Stenciling!
