Bravo!

I have just added a new picture gallery plugin to my blog. I hope you enjoy browsing my paintings!

Taking part in Saxmundham Arts Week, our local group, SAG, exhibited works of its members at the Bell Hotel.
The exhibition was well attended, receiving people from local villages and visitors from London.
I sold “My Loyal Friend Wears a Bowler”, which depicts a Suffolk Punch and his master in watercolours and which can be seen below.

Other paintings sold were: “Saxmundham High Street” by Christine Buttery, “Labrador” by Winifred Bell, “Suffolk Sunset” by Wendy Merfield, “Dunwich Cliff” and “Eastbridge” by Michael Philpot, “Waterfall” by Sandy Spirling and “Sunflower Opening” by Judith Wilson.

Sometimes, looking for specific information has that needle in a haystack feeling. Not only can you get 6,000+ results from a simple query, the most relevant data for you can be buried way down the list.

 There is a new kind of search engine that offers refined  results once users start engaging with the results. Every click refines the search strings, creating a responsive, dynamic result that is both customized and highly relevant. 

Buzzclouds are a list of search tags that are popular or recently typed into the swicki. It is a bit like overhearing your community’s conversation at a water cooler - the buzzcloud shows what is going on in their searches. This is useful as it drives more traffic by surfacing what is already at the top of your users’ minds, and suggesting interesting things to look at.

Well, if you look at the right hand column of Indigo’s Home page, you will see a search box and buzzcloud with white text on blue background that you can add to your webpage or blog.

Just click on this link , copy the code and paste it onto your site.

This is a very interesting addition, because this search engine ‘learns’ with every new query, and you - as a community member - can also suggest new terms to be added and collaborate to focus the results.
