A Better Blog (?) - May 23, 2014

If you're wondering, I did finish listening to the webinar about making better blog posts.  I waited till I had finished painting for the day and ate a late dinner, about 10 p.m.  But I found that it made no difference what time I watched the video.  The very act of watching two people talk to each other, one face at a time, is too wearing on my nerves.  But I found a solution.  I turned my back to the screen and pretended it was a radio broadcast.  Sweet bliss, it were as though I was eavesdropping on a interesting conversation.  So if you run into this problem as well, give my solution a try.  What did I learn?  In a nutshell:  name your post, make them a little longer (apparently there is a magic number for words...which I never meet), show your personality, write about your work, write about yourself, add photos, don't worry too much about mistakes.  Since I use my "blog" as more of a journal, I'm not sure if much of this will work for me.  I must get back to work as I intend to finish this piece today - no fail.  For your enjoyment I have posted a photo of my late grandmother's peach iris which has bloomed in my garden.  Back to my brushes.
