I’ve been spending a lot of time lately adding tags and descriptions to clip art images, which helps visitors find what they are looking for. From the almost 15,000 I’ve done 3000 over about a six weeks. It seems to be a very long, and slow process yet I believe it significantly adds to the quality since pictures can be found. I’ve also added around 300 pictures. The most recent ones are for Barack Obama, Hillary and McCain, some insurance related cliparts (life insurance, car insurance, home insurance), also some splashes for bargains, price cuts and price reductions.

Many things happened over the thanksgiving weekend. First there’s a lot of work done in reading the svg metadata, parsing and using it. Now, all the tags inside the svg files are used as tags for the images. Also, the title of the clipart page first is obtained from the svg metadata. If the svg metadata did not have a title, then we make up a title from the original svg filename.

Over the search bar a bread crumb is now visible that shows where the user is, and how he is opening the tags and relative tags. Under the search bar, the most prominent tags are shown. This helps the user to fine tune his search.
