Blogging can be a wonderful way to share your art with others. But if you are going to blog there are things you can do to me more effective. I put together a list of that I think every art blog needs.

Use your blog to have a conversation about your art. Don't just post photos of your paintings. Share something and make it interesting. Give your readers a reason to want to come back.
Make sure your blog has a great look and feel that is visual and appealing to your potential buyers.
Does your blog link to your website and all of your other online sites? Ideally your blog should be hosted on your website.
Is your blog easy to navigate? Also don't offer too many options to send your visitors away from your blog. It's easy to do this!
Post often. Make your stories interesting.
Use lots of widgets/gadgets to make the blog interesting and interactive. Link Within and links to your sites are a great start.

There are a lot more things you can do to make you blog more interesting. Join my webinARTs 2016 on-line class in September and you will learn everything about building a website, blogging and more!
