picture even better than the first one. Thanks for all you help.
I like your new Nude category. The website is dazzling. I
have gotten a lot of great comments from people I have sent a link to.
Jean Proulx Dibner
The website looks soooo nice! You are fantastic, not to

how deliciously elegant it is.
WOW IT IS A GORGEOUS SITE! I AM GOING TO GET MY PHOTOS DONE SOON.
It isssssss superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have become so clever I can easily access your info! It is so
amazingly good.
You did such a good job with all of this, it is amazing. I think you

of brochures, and what will we call you? the magician of websites and
info!
SIGH! awesome sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANX, o magician
Renee Rubin
You are my new best friend. Thanks much.
Jane Maxwell
Congratulations! I just had the most enjoyable experience
visiting our website! You've done a wonderful job, I'd say. Thank you
very much for all you've done to further the fortunes of Newton artists,
as well as broadening the horizons of the citizens in our community!
I do know that you did a simply fabulous job in putting
together our NOS website. It certainly inspired me to sign up with you
for my own, which has received many, many plaudits from people I know.
Connie Kantar
Thanks for the super work!!!!!!! We are so impressed!!
We think your work is super!!!!!!
The website is great!
Mary Beth Maisel
Oh, dear! To think I had grunk on my edges!! Thank you
for cleaning it up. The images look super!
Dear JB, You are not underappreciated! You are the only one on this
committee who is capable of doing all that you've done for us. We have
an incomparable website, thanks to you.
WOW!! Love that menu!! It's placement, its completeness, its lay-out of
color, its navigability.
Shazaam! Wow! Impressive! Thanks to JB!
I don't know what Wendy's reasoning for the small map was. But I have to
tell you that it fits on my modest screen! What a pleasure it is now for
me to see and use the options, to be able to view all numbers on the
map, to see all results of hovering, etc. WITHOUT
scrolling up/down. The fact that I can now deal with the map and its
effects -- look at what I'd been missing out on before. Wow! I like the
new option of getting a printed list of everyone within the media
options that I checked. The user certainly has the ability to do a lot
of preparation and planning before hitting the pavement.
Wow! I could click four times to get closer and closer zooms! With each
zoom, the streets become more recognizable, and I could eventually read
them as well.
As nifty as the feature is, I wonder if users will take advantage of it.
I suppose those who linger on the website might seek out such details
before they get the brochure map, which they'll definitely "cling" to.
You're putting an incredible amount of attention to detail to this, JB.
I hope it's appreciated by the users.
I never experienced that kind of access before, and it was weirdly nice.
(That was a compliment). The other nice thing: using the media option
list to find them on the map. You've created a very elaborate map, many
options to get at the same info- that must satisfy all kinds of
mindsets!
Bottom line from my perspective, the map is certainly far
more than I ever imagined.
You're driven and irrepressible!
Robin Baratz
Your website is soooooooo cool ... we are so lucky ...
dah, dah!!!! BINGO!!! What a professional! Will you be in my camp
forever??
Your site has been a real perk, and a great thing for me to recommend to
those considering participating
Oh, it looks terrific and is very easy to read and access.
PERFECT0! But do you think you could do things just a little more
quickly. I think that took you 1/100th of a second to get it to me
The small map is PERFECT! on my screen, and the visuals coming up on the
right work great!
FANTASTIC! I LOVE IT. NO IFS ANDS OR BUTTS! Thanks JB!
Your site is incredible ...
The map is really cool, JB. I'm so glad you did this.
Thanks!
Wendy Seller
Thanks a lot. The whole website looks terrific!
Beth Heit
Pretty impressive... of course my friends and family have
visited it hundreds of times each...
I like it, i like it!!! thanks so much for getting
it there in supersonic speed. you're a dol'--
Amanda Annis
In part seeing how professional the NOS site is, and how
your attention to detail, efforts have paid off
Oink...Oink... I'm happy to be a guinea pig. By the way, I think the web
site looks GREAT! And, I have a significant appreciation for how much
work/skill/effort it takes to make it happen that way. :') !
Just had a chance to play with updated map feature on NOS
site. Found no problems or difficulties. Excellent, gives people
LOTS of ways to go to get info and zoom feature - very useful. No
Lost Souls this year (unless they can't read or have ancient
computer/browser).
Charles Valentine
It's great! What a plus for people to view so much about
an artist by just pressing on their name. (I need to have my artist's
statement in there too.) It's a wonderful tool. thanks for doing this.
#1 IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!! What a website JB. It works and flows so well.
WOW. The map with the artist's dots if fantastic!! Access to individual
artists is so easy. The slide show is terrific. I sat back and watched
it all just flow on my computer screen. THANK YOU!!!!
JB, You've done all that I would have suggested and it looks great!
WOW!!! JB It's incredible. I love the black and red and the feel of the
whole thing. Thank you.
Thanks for the GREAT IMAGES!!! I just checked out the NOS
website for my images - slide show, pointing on my name, my site. THEY
LOOK TERRIFIC!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
JB, You are amazing!!! Thanks, my artist site looks
GORGEOUS!!! I love the site for the NOS. It is so easy and
wonderful to use. THANKS A MILLION!!! Lynda
Lynda Goldberg
JB, This is so fabulous!!! Sounds like you just lucked
into this? Whatever, it's great for us! Thank you, thank you!
Wow JB, i'm so impressed w/ all you've done! I would definitely like to
help you with this project, if you need it.
Just looked at JB's mock-up - i'm so excited!
Incredibly cool and sexy!
Great job,
JB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Virginia Peck
The most important information I needed to add was the
link to the fabulous Newton Open Studios website.
Laurie Tautkas
Thank you, JB. I couldn't be more pleased with the way it
looks and the way one can easily get around in the site. Did you develop
the site?
Andrew Dibner
I tend toward the artist by name and being able to hover
the mouse and that artists artwork comes up. Its so user friendly and
such a surprise when it happens the first time!! Really fun, fast and
informative. This by way of a P.S. from me - PPS Thank you so much for
all your wonderful creative web work!!!
Well, I think its bloody fantastic (I'm allowed to say that 'cos I'm
British you see) I know its VERY not done to swear here and I don't
normally do it but just this once I'm bereft of appropriate descriptors
and it "popped" out. Now they start coming to me brilliant,
well-researched, international even!!! Very, very well done. Proud to be
associated with it!
Great Job on the Open Studio Websites!!! Did you come across my studios
in Framingham -
saxonvillestudios.com? If not please do take a look and see how they
compare. Very interesting and thank you for taking the time and trouble.
June Cluett
That website is pretty damn cool.
I can't wait to meet the wonderful web master who created
the fabulous website AND put up with me and all my dumb questions!
Lynn Holbein
I am in awe of anyone who can do this. I still work in
cutouts.
Eileen Kurkoski
I think that could be wicked cool!
Marian Dioguardi
MANY THANKS for your work with NOS. You've created a
great site and I'm really impressed with how fast the images load, how
easy it is for me to navigate the site.
What a great job you did and so quickly! The image I
chose for the slide show works better than I had imagined. I'm pleased
with the "thumbnail" image as well. Thanks for the cropping you did
which makes these and the other images stand out well.
Thanks for the various explanations and the instant
insertion of the line of text! When the disk comes back to me I'll check
back with you and make sure the images and titles given match up with
each other. Again, a big Wow, a big THANK YOU and talk to you.
The excellent website was one of the things that drew me
to join this year and I was certainly impressed with the attention to
detail of all involved. The publicity efforts were exemplary. The sense
of community was gratifying.
Elly Rubin
by the way ,we were all very impressed with the quality
of the website. thank you for your precious help.
I am very happy with my pictures on the website and agree
with you that the 1st toreador picture looks fine. just a question :do
you think that my painting absolu could also be listed under the nude
section?
Anne de Villemejane
it's perfect, thank you! and congratulations for
the web site!
Christine Du Pasquier
I love everything you did! It looks fabulous! I'll check
on my email address and get back to you. Many thanks.
Tila Ramin
Thank you, thank you. The photos look beautiful and are
very striking against the black background! I love the website -the
Slide Show is terrific! How do you do that?
Don't know how you do it but every time I come back to
these pages after a several week absence they look better and better.
Terrific work.
Visitors to our studio loved your website! Thanks
again for all of your hard work. People definitely went to
several studios on the map & they had wonderful comments re the brochure
and the website!!
Linda Drew Bloomingdale
You are a
wonder. This website is the classiest thing to come out of Newton
since that cookie with the fig filling.
Do you spend
your whole day just serving the artists of Newton? Sure hope you
get a tickertape parade someday.
Like Elly, I thought the website was a class
act. I appreciated being able to direct friends to it long before the
event itself.
Susan Avishai
Thank you so much. It looks great. I'm so pleased to be
part of this event. The website is incredible, you've really done
a great job. The links between the names, listings and categories work
so smoothly. And I love the slideshow. My husband is a software
engineer and he was really excited about all the movement in the site.
You received a few "ohhhs" and "ahhs" and "how did he do that?".
And it is - just perfect !
Terrific ! Thank you
Phyllis Gordon
My page on the NOS site looks great! Thanks.
Karen Berman-Mulligan
I think the website
looks great. I really like the interactive part where hovering over an
artist's name brings up the graphic.
Will Kirkpatrick
I think the web site is wonderful!
You have done
such a fine job with the website, I have confidence in your judgment.
I'm sure it's much better than mine.
I just looked at my CD and wish to thank you
again for the work you did to improve the quality.
Arlene Hecht
Nice job,
looks great, thanks
Jeremiah Eck
I just wanted to thank-you so for all the work you have
been doing.......I know what it is like working with artists but since
you are one of us you knew too..........I just wanted you to know that I
looked at the web site yesterday (for the first time) and was totally
impressed. I just really wanted to thank-you......checked out your site
and it looks great.
Roberta Paul
JB, the website looks great. Thanks for all your work.
Sharon Ede Glennon
The site looks great. (all of it, not just my stuff).
Thanks!
Ellen Fisher
WOW! It looks fantastic
Plus I got a fantastic website out of our connection
cause of the OS
Sidney Hutter
Thanks again to you both for getting my page up
yesterday. I showed it to my friends last evening and they were most
impressed!
Marilyn Edelson
The images are absolutely perfect, don't change a thing.
I'm so impressed by the website, good work!
Carol Hendrickson
I did go to look at some of the other open studio sites.
Ours is clearly the best. It's difficult to find a list of the
artists on some sites, and others don't have images. NOS has great
images and the hover trick is super. Thanks for your great
website.
Jim looked at the NOS website and was very impressed.
Also, he said, "How did you get those images up SO Fast?"
What you put up for me is "perfect", corny, but perfect.
My extended family members are very impressed with YOUR
active site. Thanks for all your efforts.
Liz Noon
You did a great job picking the images. I couldn't be
more pleased. The NOS website looks great.
I am telling everyone I know to check out the NOS site.
It is really wonderful.
The site looks perfect. Thanks so much for taking the
time to do it.
Ellen Schön
I should tell you that I thought the Web design was
really exciting and I can't wait to participate.
Noreen Kimball
Looks great!! And you are so expedient!! Thanks for the
help.
Myra Abelson
HOW do you do that? ... Ummm,,,now,,,what do you use?
What software? Programming Languages? Do you have a web server on site?
and what DB are you using to link the info? ... Hats looks cool,,thanks!
:) ... OK, you are doing an awesome job! Keep up the good work,,,talk to
you soon!
Cheryl Kates
After sending in Carmella's pics, I decided to watch the
slide show. A very nice setup. Way to go. The layout of the site is
great. I do have two comments that may or may not be useful ...
Hey, what do I know....I'm just the artist's husband. The colors on the
Newton site are great. I'm sure the artists really appreciate the
quality of the images you're putting up for them. Thanks for your
involvement in this and for a great web site. Looking forward to
May 17 and 18.
Dennis Gurgul
The web page is really beautiful. I will have to write
the guru tomorrow.
I have had great delight with viewing the web page and my
friends in Cali and such have had fun too. So thanks for all of this. I
will be delighted to meet JB at the party also.
Carol Vogt
The organization, web site, etc. this year were superb.
Your web site work was spectacular.
Bob Baratz
It seemed to me that many people were visiting open
studios for the first time, probably drawn in by the fabulous publicity.
Most had carefully planned whom to visit because there were so many
artists that it was necessary to prioritize. Thus we had many people who
came to see my felted work or Donna's dolls, for example. So there was a
high level of interest. Cheers and applause to the publicity committee,
to JB for the wonderful Web site, and also to the weather committee,
which did a great job.
Susan Tornheim
My wife and I had gone to a Framingham studio open house
in April and had a great time. This was held in one building so getting
around was a bit easier. I was looking for another studio open house
when I saw in the Globe that Somerville had a similar open house planned
which we were not able to make. But it gave me the idea to do a search
on google which I did and Newton's studio tour came up. I went to the
really interesting web site and checked off a few places that we hope to
visit on Saturday afternoon.
