your work is fantastic! - Have checked out more of your art at

put off by Paul's beautiful work ( he is a pro ) - you can still
send your art in! I might have to do one myself - where are
those paint brushes?

once - you probably shouldn't but friends and relatives can! and
also include any comments they might want to add.
- We are going to change the HomePage to show the most popular and
voted for art works and this should change regularly to keep it
interesting and fresh. Still thinking about a better logo and
layout design for the HomePage.

amongst others that will be coming soon! Keeping me very busy but

Submitted site to Google
Search Engine so they would know we're here - they send out their
army of spider robots to crawl My Kids Art website and then come
back occasionally to see if there's any new stuff. Did the same
with Yahoo Search and MSN.
It's very hard to get good search ranking - there is a huge amount
of sites out there! MKA

Art - one parent so far -
Belinda from Children's Creative Art
Class - I'm not sure if many parents will
send in their own art as well as their children's. Hopefully
they might - I think it would be great to see Child and
Parent art together! MKA

The invisible website statistic counter shows that there have been
over 50 unique visitors to this site in the 3 weeks it has been
live - a milestone! Celebrations! We shall probably make the
counter visible if, and once, there are over 1,000 unique
visitors. MKA
