FREE BLOG PAGE FOR MEMBERS

The Huntsville Art Crowd is pleased to be able to offer the following new service to its members:

 

Free Blog Page for Members!

 

A blog is a web page which offers the choice of interacting with visitors. Our goal is to give every member their own identifying blog page linked to a new website for the Huntsville Art Society which will be unveiled during a gala party and press release. 

 

 

We need just 3 things from each member:

 

1. Layout 

 

Please choose your layout: 

"Minima Black" -- example:  http://terrygill.blogspot.com/ 

"Minima Lefty" -- example: http://testpage003.blogspot.com/

"Rounders 3" -- example: http://testpage002.blogspot.com/

 

2. ABOUT the Artist

 

Please email a bio or artist statement to info@huntsvilleartcrowd.com or hit reply to this email.

If you are not sure what to write simply google "artist bio" or "artist statement" and use other artist's writings as a guide to create your own. 

 

3. Images

 

Send in 3-5 images

 

Here is what we will also include on your page:

 

  1. Artist Name
  2. Medium
  3. Contact Information: Phone Number, Email, Location (town or city only unless specified otherwise)
  4. Link to your website (if available)
  5. Link to Huntsville art Society
  6. Link to the Open Studio Blog
  7. Muskoka A Designated Arts Community Badge
  8. Huntsville Art Society Blogger Badge (similar to Huntsville Art Crowd blogger badge)
  9. Copyright notice
  10. Follower Gadget 

 

We will then send you the web address (url) to your blog, the sign in information, and simple instructions on changing your password. 

 

This blog site is then yours to keep, arrange or add to as you wish. 

 

You may also use it to post your thoughts, activities or news, or to leave it simply as a contact page through the Huntsville Art Society website.

 

Two high school students will assist us over the summer in setting up the blogs, utilizing their required volunteer hours for graduation.

 

 

Benefits to a Blog:

 

  1. Blogging is FREE
  2. You have the all important web presence, allowing you to share your work with interested friends, family, artists or buyers no matter where they are in the world.
  3. CONNECT with potential customers, colleagues, news media, art supporters
  4. Share one’s expertise and knowledge with a larger audience
  5. Creating a large vibrant blogging community and all the benefits that brings, can do nothing but add to the interest of the area internally as well as externally.
  6. You can use your blog address on your business cards if you do not have a website.

We hope you will find this new service beneficial and enjoyable.

 

Sincerely,
