We're on IndiePublic!

So I caved and registered for IndiePublic. I didn't need another online place to waste away my few hours of free time, but oh! The peer pressure! If you feel like caving too, be sure to friend us.

IndiePublic is a great concept and an amazing opportunity for craft supporters, businesspeople, bloggers, and retailers alike. It's growing very quickly, and I've already found a bunch of new designers I'm interested in featuring, so it's a great way to find and be found... think MySpace populated with artsy kids and not shady.

What I'm super excited about is the broader opportunity to interact with all of you folks. I'm using our site as a means for you all to give me your immediate feedback - no launching your email interface necessary if you've got a question or comment. It's also going to drive our new Discounts and Offers program which we'll be making available to IndiePublic members - if you've got a coupon or promotion code you'd like to exclusively offer Try This at Home readers that is valid for at least a week, use our IP site to submit them. We'll publish all valid discount codes every Monday, which means free exposure for you! The longer the code lasts, the more links you'll get - it's a win-win situation for our indie businesses and fans alike, and I couldn't be more pumped about it! See our IndiePublic site for more information if you're interested in participating!

thanks for the announcement!, i actually just went and signed up myself... getting ready to push my work more into the "public" and not hide it in my studio where only friends and family see it these days... i am "friending" you too... Love your posts... so inspiring, so motivating.
