Searching on Blacklight.com improved

We've recently made improvements to the search function on our website.  It used to be to search multiple words you had to type the word "and" in between them.  Obviously most people don't search this way.  So now, when you do, you will actually get the results you are looking for.  As always, you can get different results by using quotes ("") to search and exact phrase, by using "or" to return all occurrences of two or more words, or an asterisk (*) to search part of a word.  We've also changed the search to help with misspellings and word variations.   All of this should lead to better searching and finding the product you want.  We're also looking into adding features to narrow the search by category and price.  Let us know if you have any  further suggestions.

Our glorious reviews...

Well here's another area to comment on how we're doing as a company.  You can already see our eBay feedback and Bizrate ratings in other places.  So here's a forum for everyone to comment not just those who actually buy.  Let us know what you think.

No, tell me it's not back to school time!

I'm sorry, but I want to enjoy my summer a bit longer.  You'll have to check back after my next sunburn.

Groovy!

Yes, you sure can get your Hippie on.  Just read some of the comments we'll be getting starting with "I remember back in the 60's, I".  Oh we can't wait for the hilarity to begin...

What can I use a blacklight for?

Well golly Beaver...there are so many uses that we might run out of space.  Hmm...there's counterfeit money detection (who wants a funny $100 bill?), scorpion finding (sure beats the old way of getting stung first!), antique uranium and vaseline glass detection (don't get swindled by that dealer), AC coolant leak dye detection, (don't get caught out in the hot), bathroom & bed inspection (I hope a comment isn't needed here...), mineral hunting (keep those minerals from running away), driver's license UV markings (make sure your fake is real before you use it), UV curing (huh?), and many others.  We'll get into more detail later...

Wow..look at that wall pop!

With the invisible and fluorescent blacklight reactive paints, you can make your own murals that come to life.  The blacklight paints work best on a white base to bring out the true colors.  Look for more posts describing techniques, types of paint, quality of paint, and suggestions.

Looking for new artists and artwork...

We are on the warpath looking for new artists and artwork.  Tired of seeing all the same Blacklight Posters from the 60's and 70's like we are?   Would you like to see your work in a poster format?  Then send us your artwork for us to review.  Let's get some new designs and liven up the Blacklight Poster industry and have it catch up to the 2000s.  We really can't live in the 60's forever...
