I had a method worked out so registered users could post to a dedicated section. So far the main issue is two fold: If you don't get enough contributions going, it dies on the vine. The Austin Livemodern forum is a good example of dead zone of conversation. I've seen this over and over again. That said, a forum or other place for people to submit topics is a good idea and something I'll likely do in time. The other main issue is simply time. To foster and moderate the forum (mostly thanks to spam bots) takes more time than I have right now. I am bad enough about regularly posting as it is :) I have thought about user submitted content.

Or, better put, reupholstered in that same fabric. As far as I know, it was reupholstered some time after 1964. Very interesting find.

Have you considered adding a ‘Q&A’ type section where those of us that visit the site can ask each other questions regarding MCM/Modern Architecture, furniture, and design in general? I selfishly am looking for information on a chair I have that has no markings, no original fabric, but great design and am eager to find out information. Here are a few pics if your curiosity gets the better of you: http://www.flickr.com/photos/40751010@N00/ Nice redesign.

And thanks for including some of the Agave house blogs. The name for mine should be 2011EL@5338SHP and not Miller Projects, so when you get a chance....... I've gotten lots of inspiration and insight from your site, and look forward to the new format! Sybil Hi Ben, nice re-design! And thanks for including some of the Agave house blogs.
