FYI, Marmite, while your artwork is lovely, your posts about the artwork for sale are technically breaking the advertising rules of the forum. From https://westseattleblog.com/forum/topic/advertisement-rules-reminder :
First, our forum “advertisement” rules:
If you are a business or serviceperson you CAN do any of the following here in the WSB Forums, absolutely free of charge:
-Respond to a request for recommendations in your line of work, provided you identify yourself (no recommending a business without saying it’s yours or you’re related to it!).
-Post a job opening in the West Seattle Jobs Offered section
You cannot just open a topic soliciting customers or posting a “rave” about your own business. Thanks very much to those who spot those quickly and report them. This site is a commercial, advertiser-supported business – just like a commercial newspaper, TV station, radio station, etc. – and if you are interested in advertising your business on WSB, that information is available here:
https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?page_id=4002
Added 9/17/09 for EXTRA emphasis: A “for rent” or “for sale” housing ad IS advertising and falls under the aforementioned rules.
Added 5/30/2010 for clarification: Freebies/deals/sales that you want to post here must be available to everyone – no prequalification such as “mention you read it on WSB” or “offering this if you (whatever).”
