Hard to find finished kitchens in new gallery setup

Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place, but I'm having a lot of difficulty finding the finished projects that used to be on the fansite side of the old website. It seems they are mixed in with the gallery photos? If I'm missing something, please let me know!

Thanks,
Emmie

It's not you. Our intent is to create articles so that all the finished project pictures for say...Jill77's kitchen are on one page. Haven't gotten there yet, but the photos are all uploaded and available in the gallery. To find them, when you do a search, select the category Finished and you'll get all finished photos. You can narrow your search by looking for [keyword] Adel in the [category] Finished.

We'll catch up soon, I promise!

Or just search for "mongon" in the galleries if you want to find all Mongon's kitchen pictures.

The important thing in the gallery is to use descriptive language in the description, title etc. so that people can find pictures that might be of interest to them. If you're posting a picture of an inspiration shot from a magazine or website for example, describe the key elements: Cabinets, backsplash, countertop, appliances, flooring etc. Whatever seems of interest in the picture should be described. That way someone looking for Soapstone with Stat White can find examples of what others have done with those elements. The biggest downside of images in the forums as attachments is that there is no way to FIND them by image description. The galleries are intended to remedy that by building a searchable list of images that folks can use to help them design their own project. They won't need to know ALL the kitchen Progress blogs to know which ones to dig through... Heh. Sorry... Research and Development on the galleries was my pet part of the site renovation. Sorry for the soapbox spiel.
