It never occurred to me to have an artist’s blog before I read Kristen Royce’s article on Why Every Artist Needs A Blog.

One of the great things about having an art blog is that you can update it right away. It can often take days or weeks to update an art web site. You can also edit a post and correct it immediately. And it is also possible to go back and edit or “tweak” a post after you have published it on your artist’s blog.

You can do very different things with an art blog than you can with an art website. They appear to be a great combination.

An artist’s website is like a constant one-person show. An artist’s blog has a very different tone than an artist’s web site. An artist’s blog is like having an ongoing chatty art conversation.

The subject matter can be much more personal in an art blog. You can talk about events and information that just wouldn’t fit in with an artist’s website.

I am in the early learning stages of art blogging and I am finding that art blogging can be a whole lot of fun.
