Today Technology Tremors Subside

Have you ever been afraid to do something on the computer? My latest challenge is to set up a BLOG on my web site and a merchant account so that others can benefit from the products that I created since my retirement from teaching art and technology which include e-books, calendars, presentations, etc.

Today I will pursue reading the Help sections on both the Blog site and the merchant account site. I was pleasantly surprised when I  just put a form put on my web site so that I could capture the names and emails of those who wanted to stay in communication and who visited my site. That involved copying and pasting  HTML code from my autoresponder site to my web page

 ( after downloading it with an HTML editor and then uploading with a FTP software) .It was a real thrill to see it there. Now I am going to start learning HTML code so I can tweek all of my sites.  Well, better get busy! 

ArtWork on the Web site is coming to Life!

It has been nearly two years of working on my web site so that it can be useful to both educators and their art students.For me it will be such a relief to have all of the lessons and images archived so that I can say that I have done it. Who was it that said,"Anytime you say Let it be! something happens!" Well, plenty is happening each and every day and I am happy to say that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I love the creative possibilities of technology as much as art and am thrilled each time I jump through a hoop to complete some other daunting task that makes having a web site easier. The word is "automation" and it allows you to set up in advance ways to communicate with other like minded individuals and share common concerns and successes.

I really look forward to hearing from others. I set up this blog forever ago and I need to figure out how to link it to my site...that will be one of the next challenges to overcome, Have a ho-ho filled Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year—2008 will be GREAT!
