Mikesart is a closely held company based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 1998 by Michael L Hill Sr, the company has grown organically into a powerhouse niche market publisher.

Mikesart publishes software and internet websites that appeal to women, designers, home owners, and families.

A Brief History:
Today the Mikesart Sites serve about 2,000 queries and 15,000 pages to 4,000 unique visitor a day (A fraction of it former self). Our content come from a growing number of data sources and search partners. Our partners provide us with content to augment Mikesart's rich resources and databases.

Mikesart as you know it, today began as a single special links page in January 1998. The project has been organically growing since then. In our hayday the site served 60,000+ queries a day and more than a million pages a month.

Mikesart scaled back dramatically in 2003 when its founder was preoccupied with several startup opportunities and enterprise clients!

Decorating Links Magazine grew into Mikesart.com, which grew into all our other publications, services and software!

A word for you
GiantGlossary is back. The giant glossary tool searches 10s of thousands of words in a dozen databases frighteningly fast. It is not a just dictionary, not is it just a glossary of terms, nor a word list, it is the most complex word defining tool on earth. Enjoy

What's up with the weather
Weather has gone through lots of changes. The feed I was taking was not reliable, so I completly rebuilt the software and the feed, then relocated it to Infomotto.com. The result is much faster and it updates itself reliablly. I will be distributing the feed through Infomotto.com in December 2006.

Closisa/BPP/MikesartBible
Yes it is true, They are gone. A virus caused some damage to these programs. This in-turn caused me to re-think the distribution of children's and religious content. Infomotto.com will be distributing the content once found on all three sites. The bible content is currently being used at JesusCentral.com. Clorisa.com will reappear in time, once I have a breather.
