I've been posting my artifacts online.Take a look. What do you think? (I'm just starting; got a whole bunch more to post.) If any of you collectors would like to post yours there too, let me know. I'll get you a password and set it up for you... I think it would be fun for us to share our collections in one place. Good idea or no? |

Nice idea - but a tad expensive for some. It might be easy for Robert to create a page under the "Websites" tab that featured links to members pages with their collections.I like your website very much. Personally, I have gone the cheap way - posting my photos to a gallery in Facebook. Here's the public link. |

Some good stuff there, but without sounding picky, you might want to check the wording on some of the descriptions. |

Looks good.I'm a big fan of using simple blog software to create an artifact site. Mine, for example, was created in TypePad. If you can use Microsoft Powerpoint, you can use TypePad. |

Such a page already exists: Collectors |

Yes, that a great page linking to collectors who have posted their items online!What I'm doing is a bit different. It helps people who aren't web savvy enough to put up their own website and it consolidates multiple private collections in one place. I'll definitely put up a prominent link to your very useful page as things develop! |

Some clarification:Posting to "Space Artifacts" is free! I'm doing it anyway, and I thought I'd share the space. Also, it's not a replacement for any of the other great resources showing space artifacts. I love those, too! For me, the more the merrier! |

Yep. It's still a beta, and I've been a little clumsy. But thanks for pointing that out! I'm also considering other designs -- I like the one I've got, but I'd like more space on the front page to put other kinds of entries... |

Maybe its time to push forward on the Collectors Wiki. |

Thanks to Robert Yowell for sharing his artifacts, now on the space artifacts site.Others wishing to share on the site please note: you can email stuff to me, but I'll be away for a few days, and will post new items when I get back. Thanks! |
