I recently switched my blog from blogger to wordpress – and you might ask why blog at all? When I owned Carolina Creations it was to keep customers informed of our upcoming events, what our artists were creating, what I was doing with my art, and I threw in some personal things as well.
I don’t have Carolina Creations anymore but I am still doing my own artwork. I’m traveling a lot (doing it while I still can), and I like to take photos and write a little.
It’s really a journal of my life, what I’m doing and what I care about.
A friend told me that she switched her blog from one host to another and she lost the whole thing (always backup!!). So years ago I started printing it every year or two. Since people don’t print photos like they used to they can disappear with a computer crash or like my friends blog did. And besides if you don’t print photos – in the future our kids or relatives will never know you existed or at least what you looked like!
I use blog2print which is an online platform that is so easy to use.
Probably because of my age I like flipping through the pages and holding a book in my hands.
So I can see myself continuing to blog for the foreseeable future – right now it’s more about my traveling than anything else – but one of these days I’ll be content to stay at home again in my studio and create, then it will go back to being more about art. I really do it for myself but I’m pleased that other people read it and enjoy it.
Thank you for reading!
I like reading, seeing and hearing all about your travels, art and thoughts, Jan. I appreciate your time, effort and the inspiration.
Thank you Bobbi! Hope all is well! Maybe we can get together in June, I’ll be home most of that month.
