Hey Clint,
I've tried to set this up. I'm using enhanced Devonshire, but I can't find the like button anywhere. Am I doing something wrong?

This is good information. Anything we can
do to keep viewers on our site as artists is
highly beneficial.

I upgraded my website to the advanced template and now have the "like" buttons. I think this is a great feature and hope that people will take advantage of it. I have Firefox so no problems for me.

Sharon, I'm glad that you get the "like" button with firefox, but have you looked to see how many of your patrons come via Explorer?

Ooops that was KAREN's comment... (Sorry)
Too many fabulous painters named Cooper.

This sounds so exciting, but for some of us reasonably savvy but still not expert computer geeks - what you are telling me, I still don't understand. I looked at Kevin's site and couldn't figure out any 'like'. However, his painting of Catalina is smashing and I wouldn't have seen it otherwise. It is so reminicent of the California Impressionist school ot the 30's. It's almost ehough to make me take a trip to California just to see the painting. Thanks and I'll keep working on figuring this out. With all this computer stuff who has time to paint?

Oooooh Marian, you should delete that "of course" from your last comment--it makes it sound like I am always right. Which as we all know really only happens once in a blue moon. Or maybe just on Saturday mornings! :)

Yes Cooper, I use Explorer. Still can't see the "like" button.

On an unrelated topic....totally unrelated....I thought some of you might like to watch this. The link will take you to our local PBS station. They have a 30 minute program called INFOCUS. They did a segment on my artwork. It aired last night. It's about 8 minutes long.

Hi Clint,

I have enhanced my template (I know..somehow that sounds wrong) to include the "like" buttons and I have to say...it's a rousing success!! I have had several people tell me what a brilliant idea this is. So, thank you.

One question: Is there a way we can track who has "liked" our art? I actually tried it out and "liked" one of my paintings. Then, I checked it out on FB and saw that it did work. The next time, I went to that painting, someone else had "liked" it as it said "2." Now, however, it looks like it defaulted back to just the "like" button and there is no number there. It would be helpful if we knew how many people "liked" which paintings (a better idea of what to paint in the future) similarly to our stats. Is there a way to incorporate that?

Thanks again,

Nancy

This is an interesting idea and sounds
like something that is a no-brainer to
do.
