There are a lot of basic questions on Mail Art that are often asked and answered. This group might be the first place to look for answers. I will do my best to answer, but hope that other members can help out as well.

Comment by Dimitra Papatheodorou on April 4, 2013 at 6:48pm Thank you, Val very much for your help. It is very important to know that i have a friend in my first steps.
Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on April 4, 2013 at 4:43pm Welcome Dimitra!
Your starting point should be to look at the Mail-Arts Projects entry that is one of the Links at the right of every IUOMA page, and to join the Mail Art projects List Group; (There is overlap between the two, but don't let that bother you).
It's easy to get involved in a Mail Art project. Read the description of what is wanted, and then send your Mail Art the specified address. It's that simple!
To organise a Mail Art exhibition is a bit more complicated. Look at what is listed in the Link and the Group, and follow the example of the projects listed there. You will have to have a title, theme, specify what you want to receive (eg postcards, enveloppes, photos, etc), a deadline, an address to send things to, information about your exhibition (when, where, etc) and any other relevant information. You need to make provisions to let people know that you've received their work, feature it on a blog, start a special link, etc.
Good luck and good bye! Val

Comment by Angie & Snooky on December 9, 2012 at 11:02pm How many comments to you get at your photos or blogs? Not that many right? There aren't millions of predators trolling our personal pages. I think this is a wonderfully safe place. No worries friends.
Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on December 9, 2012 at 7:20pm I agree Tere. I'm spending time on making and doing art now, not fighting these batteles. Over to you. Erni/Val
Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on December 7, 2012 at 10:24pm Katerina: I am only too willing to accept most kinds of behaviour, but not this. It is potentially so very dangerous that I am extremely uncomfortable with it.

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on December 7, 2012 at 10:22pm Thankyou APLD.
This is a lot clearer.
I read the Terms of Service and are even more convinced that the situation I described is, well the simplest word I can find for it is wrong'' but if you want me to get engaged in a legalistic analysis of the TOS I'm perfectly willing to do so).
It shouldn't be allowed in IOUMA.
You can quote chapter and verse of the TOS to me, and I can argue them with you until the cows come home, but, and I repeat myself, it's wrong.
