Some people have problems with the Ning platform which are sometimes caused by an update of their browser programm. There are some computer skills needed to solve the problem. Sometimes it is just push the right button on the settings of your browser (using IE9 you need to select the new or old website-settings. In Firefox 4, everything seems to work, but some scipts don't work at all.

IE9 and FF4 have different firms behind them who are fighting a battle on who will have the best standard. That means that some old and new websites who have applications from the other firm in it, have a tendency to cause problems.

Not an easy time. I hope they solve the problem quick in their behaviour.....!

As a new member to IUOMA, I appreciated the welcoming MA I got from people like Angie and Snooky, Elizabeth Parsons, and a couple of others! That was so magical! My "method" was to reciprocate. And, yes, I had questions about sending original or photocopies of my work collaged. Then I started absorbing the fun and perhaps irreverent haphazardly love of communication and as expressed by Ruud Janssen. I'm feeling quite "freed" to try anything. About using all the resources on this fluent IUOMA site--well my method is to spend some time each day seeing what is going on, and to try something. Suspend judgment and see what happens. I am having a hoot!

methodical ; now that is an interesting approach. Which methods could one use?
Comment by DKeys on March 24, 2011 at 6:02pm
Hi Jessica, welcome! I've been on here a long time but am still finding my way around.  I post pictures of my own work on my page and then post received art on the blog section at the top of this page. I send mail art out randomly to everyone and anyone I can find by looking at their pages and finding their address. It's the sphagetti on the wall method but it seems to be working for me. At first I just added as many people as friends as I could. I'm sure other people have a more methodical and productive method than I.

'It is that simple' if you have been a Mail Artist for 31 years, and are the Founding Father of IUOMA.

It's not simple at all if you havebeen a IUOMA member for 31 seconds!

Regards, Val

Mail-Art means something different to everybody. There is no standard welcome package possible. Jump in and absorb what you see. Then decide on which road you like. It is that simple. "Mail-Art changed my Life" is a simple statement. This can happen to everybody that stumbles onto mail-art. Meet new people, meet new views, change your views, change your life. Basic things that Mail-Art has in its power since human beings communicate on a creative and a direct way.
