I’m trying to update my blog regularly, but sometimes I get sucked into my art and forget about everything else. I’m sure you artists know exactly what I’m talking about 
. I have a goal to post updates about three times a week right now, but it is kind of sporadic on when that happens as you likely have noticed. I’ve incorporated several ways for my readers to stay current with my posts – updates on Facebook and Twitter, subscribing to the RSS feed through one of the several buttons and links around the site, the ability to get email updates sent, and now it will also show on my art gallery’s news page (or at least it will when it’s finished).
Subscribing to my feed or following my activity on other social media sites will inform you when I have updated my blog with a new post so that you can immediately see what I’m up to and be the first to see the projects that I’m working on. Subscribing via email or RSS is very simple and free, and lets you get instant updates of the newest posts. Now I am not saying that I don’t want you visiting my blog any more – I definitely want you all here to participate in discussions and what-not – but rather I’m giving you options to know when I’ve posted something new.
To my current subscribers, my apologies for this solicitation to something you already have, but I am aware that many of my readers are not aware of these options and I want to make sure that everyone has access to, and understands these options. And for anyone who is not sure what I’m talking about with all this internet lingo (Chris had to explain it to me too), just look for an image like this:
You’ll find similar buttons on the top right of each page of my blog, ones a bit lower down with the social network buttons, including one for email subscriptions, and soon there will be one at the bottom of each post. I’ve also added the option to subscribe to the comments as well so that you never miss out on the conversations that happen outside the posts.
A big thank you to my readers and fans, your support and friendship help me keep going and provide me with the motivation I need to keep plugging away with my projects.
