Total Art Soul - for artists

Variya,

So nice to get your feedback, I agree with Cathy that TAS is a great source of good blogs. I tried to post one today but need to sort out how to direct people to it! Plus I need to make some alignment edits.

I hope the idea takes off well, I find I can absorb the shorter ones better since my brain has too many focuses these days!

Usually the real problem is that I am crossed eyed from picking up beads off the floor, now that might be a short blurb for a short blog!

I do still enjoy reading a well written informative blog like we have seen coming from some of TAS members, I miss GrinGrimace recipe blogs yum!

thankyou mooaany for your comment on corfe castle painting on my blog

thankyou so much Variya for following my Blog very much appreciated :-D

I agree Carmen! We need some more recipes! They've been real busy lately but I know she'll come back when she can.

I've done much research into the subject of blogging. You're right that short well written articles with great images will do best. You have to remember that people's attention spans are quite short on the internet because of the variety available. You need to capture their imagination in an instant or they will click away.

I keep doing my best to get all your blogs seen. I'm also retweeting for a lot of you so if you post it there, you'll get a chance. I can only RT for a certain amount of members just once per day otherwise people start to unfollow me. I do keep rotating it though.

Cathy, thanks for info, I do think there are different reasons for blogging. Some do it to keep friends and family updated on their lives and those blogs have there place. Probably one of the reasons I love Stumbleupon, is that you can always find something short and sweet that can get you going!

I don't know if I will ever master the short blog, or any blog, but it is fun trying, and great to share with others and find out what others are thinking about!

There is a real knack to writing interesting articles and I'm still trying to get to grips with it. I now write articles for Ezine Articles which is also a good way to stay visible or drum up interest in what you're doing. The thing with them is that there are no images so you have to make it interesting.
