			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s Friday! And with Friday comes my <a title="Imagekind Friday Favorites" href="http://blog.imagekind.com/category/friday-favorites/" target="_blank">Friday Favorites</a>. There have been some <strong>very exciting things</strong> going on this week. Not only was Imagekind included in a local news story about one of our member artists, Imagekind frames were also included on national news! Additionally, some member artists are really stepping up to help fight cancer with their art. Lastly we have released some new features that are sure to help with member reporting.</p>
<h3>Imagekind Frames on ABC&#8217;s Good Morning America</h3>
<p>Look mom, we&#8217;re on TV! On June 6, ABC aired a segment on <em>Good Morning America Weekend</em> titled &#8220;<a title="Good Morning America" href="http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=7772263" target="_blank">Picture Perfect: Spring Clean Your Digital Life</a>.&#8221; Becky Worley, a technology contributor for the show, walked viewers through a &#8220;day in the life&#8221; of the De Lauzon family as they struggled to keep their large (over 20,000!) collection of digital photos organized.</p>
<p>At the end of the segment, the host surprised the family by unveiling a wall full of Imagekind products including <a title="Imagekind Story Frames" href="http://www.imagekind.com/shop/storyframes.aspx" target="_blank"><strong>Story Frames</strong></a>, <strong>framed photos,</strong> and a <strong>canvas print</strong>, noting, &#8220;<a title="Snapfish and Imagekind" href="http://www.snapfish.com/storeframes/" target="_blank">Snapfish</a> helped us with all of this.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=7772263" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Imagekind on ABC" src="http://blog.imagekind.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/sfabcnews.jpg" alt="" width="428" height="355" /></a></p>
<p>Yeah, those are Imagekind frames! Make sure to <a title="Imagekind Frames on ABC" href="http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=7772263" target="_blank">check out the video</a> and get inspired how you can transform your <a title="print and frame your digital photos" href="http://www.imagekind.com/create" target="_blank">digital photos into framed works of art</a>.</p>
<h3>Imagekind Member in the Seattle PI</h3>
<p>Imagekind member<a title="Liz Moody on Imagekind" href="http://www.imagekind.com/MemberProfile.aspx?mid=02d42281-11bb-4aac-82c2-ae3f75e7ebe0" target="_blank"> Liz Moody</a> is showcasing her work at the inaugural exhibit at the newly opened <a title="The Shooting Gallery" href="http://wallflowercustomframing.com/shootinggallery.html" target="_blank">Shooting Gallery</a> in Seattle. She got a great feature in the <a title="Liz Moody's &quot;Burgeoning Blossoms/Fairy Tales&quot; at the Shooting Gallery" href="http://blog.seattlepi.com/bookpatrol/archives/170853.asp" target="_blank">Seattle PI Blog</a> about her upcoming gallery show.  Her work utilizes a medley of collage and paint to create playful and highly decorative pieces.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 355px"><a href="http://www.imagekind.com/showartwork.aspx?IMID=2f45dbeb-50b4-44c7-8136-b1318e36113d" target="_blank"><img style="border: 1px solid black;" title="4 Bottles by Liz Moody" src="http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/e24a444f-0ea4-42f4-b829-d10c884f250e/uploadedartwork/350X350/2f45dbeb-50b4-44c7-8136-b1318e36113d.jpg" alt="4 Bottles by Liz Moody" width="345" height="350" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">4 Bottles by Liz Moody</p></div>
<p>One of the coolest things about this is that her Imagekind gallery is mentioned right in the post as well. Fellow artists should take note. Directing fans of your work to Imagekind where they can easily buy your prints with a simple click is sure to help increase the awareness of your art, which in turn will help increase sales.</p>
<h3>Help Fight Cancer with Art</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">The <a href="http://groups.imagekind.com/artforcancer" target="_blank">Art for Cancer</a> group put out some really cool <a title="Art for Cancer Videos" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZhDjU1ttxY&amp;feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">videos of member images participating in the group</a>. Members of the group of have each offered to donate a percentage of their proceeds on selected prints to their cancer charity of choice. You can see all the images included in the group to <a title="fight cancer. buy art." href="http://groups.imagekind.com/artforcancer/images.aspx" target="_blank">shop artwork that helps fight cancer</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/WZhDjU1ttxY&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WZhDjU1ttxY&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="ctl00_BodyPlaceHolder_rptrPosts_ctl01_lblPost" class="bodytext">What is especially cool about the Art for Cancer group is how they are utilizing YouTube and other social media sites to get their message &#8211; and it&#8217;s member&#8217;s artwork &#8211; out in front of more people!</span></p>
<h3>New Features in Artist Reports</h3>
<p>We are constantly looking for ways to <a title="Imagekind Annoucements" href="http://www.imagekind.com/community/forums/threads.aspx?sid=1" target="_blank">improve</a> the Imagekind service for both our shoppers and artists. Better sales reporting has been something many of our artists have requested for some time now. That&#8217;s why we are excited to announce that this week we launched <a title="New Additions to Artist Reports" href="http://www.imagekind.com/community/forums/posts.aspx?sid=1&amp;threadid=2272" target="_blank">even more features</a> in the advanced reporting for our members. Now you can get the stats for each of your images and find out who favorited your work . You can see an example of just <em>some </em>of the new features below, but do make sure and check it out for yourself in <a title="Sales Reporting" href="http://www.imagekind.com/member/reports.aspx" target="_blank">your Imagekind admin</a>.</p>
