General Chat for July 2010

Alan -
I think a shared home page with an introduction and some general info is fine, then have separate "about me" pages and galleries for each of you to display your work in.

You could also have a separate section of your site password-protected and use that area to show prospective buyers better quality/larger images of your paintings. You would post the images then give your client a password (temporary) so he/she could view the images.

Dana - hope you made it home OK!

Alan - I just keep my images small on my website - I don't like the look of watermarks - they detract from the painting.

Callie, excellent suggestions! Thank you!
Sofie, I agree, in keeping the images small and eliminating the watermarks. I'll be doing some updating next week... oh, and some painting, ha ha.

I agree with you Sofie -- they seem to distract me from the art.

Alan, I still need to check out that website -- maybe when I have my computer up and running and not borrowing the work one.

Thank you Callie -- I did make it home okay, but found out that my breaks were stuck on the back tire making it difficult to ride, no wonder it felt like I was going through thick mud when I was riding!!! My husband showed me how the back tire would not spin freely -- we both laughed and I now check it reguarly for that.

Amazing that you made it home. Look at it this way. You got your aerobics, strengthening and endurance all in one shot. I bet the next ride was a breeze without "mud."
