Hi, and Happy New Year to you all.

In the coming weeks, we’re going to be adding to our communications capabilities with our customers and friends. Among those additions will be some updates to the WorkingArtist Website.

We’re going to change the look and feel a bit to freshen it up.  We’re going to be replacing the WorkingArtist Forum with a new tool.  The Forum is only lightly used, and I’d rather that we had a tool that helped to build the WorkingArtist community.  Once I have that in place, we’ll close down the Forum area of the website.  Of course, all of our current support tools remain in place and open for your use.  We are dedicated to making WorkingArtist the best tool you can have for managing your business, and that includes our support efforts as well.  We’re going to review all of the Knowledgebase Articles as well.  Some are getting a bit aged, and those will be removed, while others will be updated to reflect current knowledge.

More news to come. We’re continuing our work on WorkingArtist4, and we’ll have more news for you on that topic in the coming weeks.

Have a safe and happy New Year, and may the coming year bring us all a better economy in which to support our businesses.

Hi all,

Well, it’s been awhile.  Best laid plans and all that. I started this blog to keep you all up to date on what’s been going on with WorkingArtist. Turns out, the work on WorkingArtist took up so much time that I ended up not having time to tell you about the work being done on WorkingArtist.  In the meantime, all sort of freaks and weirdos starting dumping things onto the blog comments.  Wasn’t very pretty, unless you’re impressed by Viagra ads.  But, finally, I’ve worked out a schedule that will let me do a better job of keeping things up to date here.  Just spent a couple of hours cleaning up all the cr*p that had been dumped here.  Now, I’d like to tell you about….

WorkingArtist4!

Kathryn Townsend, the original developer of WorkingArtist, had actually started working on WA4 some time ago.  When Kathryn turned the company over to me, WA4 came along with it.  I could have released it as is, and that would have been a pretty cool update. But, no! I can’t just leave well enough alone, so I’m back in development mode, doing some significant work on WA4.

The biggest news, I suppose, is that WA4 will be available for Windows and the Mac.  So, for all of you who occasionally ask if there will be a Mac version of WA, the answer is yes.  Now, this is a pretty big job, so it’s going to take a little while to get it all done. Right now, I’m planning on releasing WA4 for both Windows and the Mac late in the spring of next year, but I’m not going to let it escape into the wild until I’m happy with it.  I’ve got a pretty sizable list of new features that are being added, and I’ll be talking them over the next few months as I get to work on them.  In the meantime, I’ll have some news for you on other work that’s being done.

I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving, and will have a wonderful holiday season.

Ron
