Tim: You can always email me (link in the About tab above).
I haven’t heard of artists having much luck with LI and I hate to encourage anyone to spend time somewhere that won’t be fruitful for them. I’d love to hear from you if you have a good LI case study. alyson@artbizcoach.com

I didn’t know where else to write this, I read your posts regarding facebook and twitter…I hope you’ll consider writing something soon regarding LinkedIn as well. Thanks!

I really wish you’d use your own name as that’s how you’ll want to be known in history. With “Art of RetroCollage,” you could be anyone. And we’ll just call you “Art.”

Alyson, having been a regular journaler almost all my life before becoming a busy mom, I took your advice and set up a FB Page and a blog. It is amazing how this commitment motivates me to articulate about my art. I keep doing little steps to professionalize my online presence, but blogging definitely forces me to paint, write, comment… so, Thank You much!!! Michele Graedel

Alyson: I started posting replies with the name of my website rather than my own name (Eric Edelman). I also decided to integrate my own artwork with my writings. Recently, I began a series I call “Profiles in Collage” to highlight the background of the earlier collage masters. So my blog is a hodgepodge of art-related, collage-focused material.

I find now it does take quite a while to research and write my blog posts, but I think it is worth it.

Alyson: Thanks for your feedback. My tech person fixed the problem with a setting, and the website should be working now. I appreciate the alert.

Eric: You could probably link the past to the present with a little effort.

A number of your links on your home page didn’t work for me.

I started blogging about digital collage techniques, with specifics about the use of vintage wood engravings, inspiration, etc. It can be viewed at http://blog.retrocollage.com/.

What I wonder is whether is makes sense to mix postings of new art in this type of blog? I do have a link to my art gallery of work for sale but have not put artwork itself in the blog feed.

Alyson what a fantastic post! Thank you so much! Your research is fantastic! I have kept a hand written log for years and years. I eventually moved it onto Exel and now I found Artists software! I love that! Thank you!
