2005 was a great year for art in Portland. As for PORT, we thived (not bad for an experimental form of art macroblog). Our monthly readership has more than doubled since our debut in June and even then we were pretty excited just how many thousands of readers we had. Since June our readership has steadily increased, a good sign. In Miami during the art fairs I was inundated with an impressive number of readers from afar, thanks for the compliments.

While at the fairs I also compared notes with a lot of other art writers and bloggers. I was surprised that we get a lot more daily and monthly readers than many of the New York based blogs, clearly there is a need for PORT and we thank our readers and sponsors for this success.

Monday I'll post my "best of" lists along with input from our readers...until then, here is a link to my latest Critical i article.

Till then, Happy New Year from all of us at PORT
