“Continually bringing the world’s best antiques & collectibles news, events and resources has been and continues to be our primary focus.” according to Michael Hudson, Editor of Antiques, Collectibles and Auction News. Michael continued saying “Upgrading to Wordpress 2.3.1 with the dramatic performance increase while continuing to provide our rich feature set was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made. Thanks to the fine support staff of Lunar Pages for going over and beyond to help make this transition possible.”

Now that the Wordpress foundation upgrade has been completed, the owners of Antiques, Collectibles and Auction News have positioned their site to handle the 100+ authors/writers who have either already posted news articles and/or committed to submitting press releases. Having the best world class writers and recently obtaining some of the world’s best advertisers, Antiques, Collectibles and Auction News is fully prepared to continue its ascent to the top of the search engines and readership for antiques & collectibles, appraisers, associations, auctions and museums as the one-stop shop.
