[TheFrameGuy]

The Internet is so interesting to me. I always wonder how people find what they are looking for. So I ask this question, "How did you find the "Picture Framers Grumble?" I'm looking for answers like: I found it on Yahoo, I found it through word of mouth, or I clicked a link on another site. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

It's on several search engines. Infoseek is one use "picture framer" include the quotes

[DPattullo]

I found it just by searching for picture framing stuff, advice, etc... This site was exactly what I had been looking for!! Actually it had been the previous site that i had found, before the design was changed!!

[JPete]

I went to the Picture Frame Magazine site, did a post, sent e-mail and the next day I had e-mail telling me about this. PFM and one of you brought me in. Thanks.

[Oregon Jay]

I found the Grumble today through myframeshop.com (Ithink). I assumed (shouldn't do that) that I was reading messages from framers in Washington state; very interesting! I'll stick around and learn more I hope.

[Oregon Jay]

OK you guys! I just saw my own reply and guess what? NOSPACES! How about if I type everything like this? Please let me in on the secret!

[Kel]

Found the Grumble through PFM. Glad I did.

[courtney]

Oregon jay. Register again and do not use any spaces in your username. Thanks again Framer.

[Le]

I can't remember. I think it was Yahoo to myframeshop.com to Grumble. I couldn't resist the name.

[TheFrameGuy]

Hey new guys at the Grumble, answer this one for us! If we have 50 registered users now, we should be able to collect a lot of inforamtion here that would help us figure out how to get more people on the Grumble.

[DPattullo]

Just wanted to bring this subject back to the top. I noticed there haven't been over fifty replies to it yet..... http://lwfa.com/framer/ubbs/smile.gif http://lwfa.com/framer/ubbs/smile.gif http://lwfa.com/framer/ubbs/smile.gif

[gentlebreeze]

I found my way here with AltaVista. Sure glad I did!

[johnw]

Found the Grumble thru PFM.

[tdubb]

Alta Vista...

[woody]

Basically the same is JPete above.

[TheFrameGuy]

For the benefit of the new members, lets re-visit this topic. Maybe we can all remember our roots, where we came from.

search engines - can't remember which - looking for picture framing info.

[Orton]

... just by chance via AltaVista (I think!) Glad I did.

I found it with Info-Seek, I was advised by another framer here in Oz I met on Picture Framing Magazine - Framer To Framer Forum.

I don't remember exactly how I found the Grumble. Looking for picture framing info I think. Glad I found it. Its very helpful and I'm enjoying the "international flavor" now!

[TheFrameGuy]

Lets re-visit the topic that I started nearly one year ago.

ATTENTION NEW GRUMBLERS!
Tell us how you got here the first time. Can you remember?

I found it through some search engine, probably Yahoo or Alta Vista-I can't remember which one.

[Swede]

Found this site through FerenSoft web page; (GREAT software for framers, too.) Glad I found it - VERY informative !!

[What-How]

It was a very long search. The direct link was from the site that has the "Framers Calculater" which by the way seems to have a computation error. Either that or I'm confused. http://www.thegrumble.com/framer/ubbs/smile.gif

[MerrillGraysonCPF]

If I remember correctly, I got here by following a link that Tim Dardis had on the LifeSaver Software Site way back when.

I typed in picture framing in AltaVista. Things don't change much in a year, do they?

[PegLeg]

The computer made this post twice, so I decided to use the space. (You see, I am computer illiterate and anything the computer does is not my fault). By the way, thanks you guys for keeping the Grumble going until I got here. I wonder what happened to DPattullo, though.

[Alex]

Found it through the EPFG newsletter.

[Orton]

Sorry, it was Dogpile, not Alta Vista.

[pmc]

I found it through another framer. I sent her some links, and she sent me some of hers, the Grumble was one of those links.

[BUDDY]

I found it by entering framing in Alta Vista through Netscape and bookmarked it.

[MerpsMom]

Relative to PL's computer illiteracy comment, you know what I wish? I wish there was a board for the novice-to-intermediate user so we could get questions answered with the same ease as on the Grumble. I bug two or three of our members and feel terrible about it, but I'm selfish enough to keep it up! (This is not the place to post this, but I was here.)

[marzipan1]

I found the original PFG site through another framer who gave me a whole list of sites on picture framing...the funny thing is-I don't see her here. I lost you for awhile--a computer crash wiped out everything--but then was able to find you through a search engine-probably Dogpile. You'd changed your format by then, of course...but I find I like it even better than the old one. I lurked for many months before actually posting anything.

[ChrisW]

I found PFG through The Frame Guys myframeshop.com but I can't remember how I found him? Just surfing I guess.

[Barbara]

I found "The Grumble" through either Dogpile or HBFN.

[Mel]

Surfing to find price info on a press, I found a member of this board, who let me in on The Grumble. And I thank her. And I second MM's idea. I could really use a computer BB. And congratulations are in line for Merrill, a new member of the PPFA board, if I recall my late night PFM reading correctly.

[Angela]

Hmm - don't have complete recall (I must be getting old), but I think it was by doing a search on "picture framing." I don't know which search engine it was . . .

One thing I DO know is that I'm glad I found it! Great exchange of information!

[calley]

By word of mouth.

[joe]

I first found The Picture Framers Grumble when I was intently looking for sites concerning the industry. I search through Yahoo. I had not heard of the Grumble before I stumbled onto it. My lucky find!

------------------

[No Bare Walls]

I found you by doing a random search on Yahoo for picture framing info. Then through
Picture Framing Magazines link.

[crobby]

I found it through a search engine and have shared with many people how informative and entertaining this site is in hopes of them visiting......

[John Ranes II, CPF, GCF]

I initially entered the Grumble via myframeshop.com about a year ago. I'd heard verbal discussion of the site among framers and industry people. Returned and joined this past month via a thread from Orton on the PPFA Exchange.

As most of you are hungry and eager to learn and share information, I'd like to invite those that are not current PPFA members to join. Send me a private e-mail and I'll gladly send you an application.

Sincerely,

Hi,

I learned about the Grumble from Orton on the PPFA Exchange. I just joined yesterday and have been fascinated by the different things discussed on both the Grumble and TOF. Good thing I learned about this as we get into our slow season! http://www.thegrumble.com/framer/ubbs/smile.gif

I was looking for picture framing info thru various search engines and came across the grumble. Glad I did

[T. Porter]

Through direction of another framer

[po' framer]

Search engine or a link from another site; I forget exactly which.

[Donna Walter]

[louie]

Like every thing else I find on the net, I was looking for something else. A few hours and many tangents later, I wound up here.
I check it out every day.

I forgot about this one....I was surfing out of curiosity and punched in framing on Yahoo and this is one of the more interesting listings that came up. There weren't that many sites at the time...twenty some odd, but try it now! Wow!

[lindas3]

Found it through the PPFA Hitchhikers group. Not sure which posting but believe I got here through Myframeshop.com. It's a great place to be! Thanks to all who share thier knowledge.

[beezor77]

I was looking for any and all info on framing, on aol search, after the ppfa site, found my frameshop.com and the grumble, I love this site, and check in every day. You have saved me many boo boos. By the way, when do you go from junior do grown up Memeber?

[JPete]

After so many posts.

[BBsMeMaw]

just getting started in the framing business here in Florida.... caught my interest IMMEDIATELY!!! Started looking for anything to do with framing on the internet.... and i found you guys! I stop in once or twice a week to see what's new, and I told my boss about the site.

[Lance E]

John Ranes mentioned it last time he was in New Zealand, the home of the best framers.

[ThePictureMan]

Well I can't remember how I found it! Must have been about two months ago now, surfin'" when I was "Reasearching". Just glad I did find it!

[meko1]

I found it last year (took a while to get comfortable with the computer) either from my Larson sales rep or I found it through Dogpile. Great site, learning lots and don't feel so alone!

[Susan May]

I actually found framedex.com in a trade mag, and someone mentioned the Grumble. I haven't looked back! I find the people here very informative and helpfull. I have told a few other people about this site.

I found out about it on the PPFA Online a little over a year ago. I read this thread then too... but never posted. Better late than never, I guess.

[Bogframe]

I found it on some search engine... who can remember. I've been checking in almost every day since, it's a fun way to pass my lunchtime while I'm dieting!

[po' framer]

I can't believe the way this thread just keeps hanging in there. Is this a record or something, or does the home-based vs. storefront discussion win because it will never be over?

[MerpsMom]

That's worth a giggle this morning. Actually, I was going to be the "mother" and start "How Did You...II" but now it seems like meddling, so... http://www.thegrumble.com/framer/ubbs/smile.gif

[SuzyQ]

Have been searching the net for over a month on framing information. I have run across it several times, but didn't realize how fun this could be! I found it tonight on "google", a search engine I just discovered.

[Jana]

I found this site mentioned in an article in a recent Picture Framing Magazine. Glad I found it. I can tell it will be very helpful. Thanks! http://www.thegrumble.com/framer/ubbs/smile.gif

[Marc Lzier]

I am glad to see at least one person read it.
