New identity and new website design
June 30th, 2010
Following the re-design of our blog, we have now re-design the whole website. It is not only more visually appealing but also much more easy to use.
With the new website came the decision to redefine our identity as well, as a result our logo has been through a major change.
We hope you like the changes and like always, keep the feedback coming!

Artgonia on facebook
May 22nd, 2010
Our first version of the facebook app is now live in facebook: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=417120325243
In this version facebook users will be able to see the published art and artists. Much more social features are store. Make sure you share this application with your friend!
Tag your art
May 17th, 2010
Yesterday we included a new feature for profiles, collections and items: Tags.
Tags serve two purposes:
- They help Artgonia index your content so that it’s more easily searchable and linked together with similar art.
- They help you get more noticed in Search Engines like Google.
You will find this new feature in when you edit your profile, your collections and your items. Get in there and start tagging your art!
New Artgonia Launch
May 7th, 2010
After some months of hardcore development, changing the framework that powers the site and redesign… We’re ready to launch the new site. Today we moved the data from the old site and move all code to the production server. We are finally live!
In the coming days we will be sending emails to the current registered users so that they can log into the new site and start using the new features. We’re very proud of our tight facebook integration and are sure our artists will find the increased marketing and visibility potential extremely valuable.
I’m personally very excited to start hearing the feedback and ideas on how to improve the site. This is just the beginning, this site is for you and we really want to hear what you expect from it.
Thanks for using Artgonia!
Collections, Items and more…
April 23rd, 2010
Yesterday, we finished the new implementation of Galleries (now known as Collections) and Artwork (now known as Items). The release of the new site to the public is now imminent and we hope it could happen as soon as next week.
All of the current Artgonia users will soon receive a mail explaining how to migrate to the new system and link their facebook accounts for increased exposure and enjoyment of prople’s art.
Artgonia’s very first blog post
March 20th, 2010
So, there you have it!
I’ve installed WordPress into Artgonia and given it it’s own url: blog.artgonia.com.
I started this site back in 2005 and over 300 users and 5 years later, we have decided swift gears and do a major update to the site. We hope this will become the Web 2.0 platform for artist work promotion and art discovery. Many features are being cooked as I write this and we’re very excited of things to come.
Our development blog will update everybody in the progress.
