Supporting Women Artists Project (SWAP) is a new non-profit organization that offers free studio space for women artists in exchange for mentoring young girls who are interested in art. They are just gearing up for their first year, and are now accepting donations online. Way to go Frannie and Andrea!
I am happy to announce the launch of another great NYC website: StreetsBlog. A project of the NYC Streets Renaissance Campaign and edited by NYC transportation/planning blogger Aaron Naparstek, this site will take a critical look at transportation issues in our area. I've been a fan of Aaron's writing for some time, so it was a big honor for me to build his new home. (The site is running WordPress, and the design is based on nycsr.org, which was originally designed by Andrew Fischler, Jr. who I've never met but whose design I like a lot.)
GRDN has been getting a lot of attention lately - thanks to everyone for sending in your comments. Most notably, it has been chosen as a featured case study at CubeCart.com (one of two, randomly highlighted on the homepage). Cube Cart is the e-commerce package we used, chosen mainly because it's the only php-based e-commerce site that uses XHTML and CSS. Thanks, Alistair, for the shout out.
