Why curator? This person is in the business of selling art…however, a plumber, veterinarian and pilot all deal with people every day and they too might be good story tellers that could improve my worldly vantage point.

Great post Alyson. • I have a blog for the last eight years. I like to write about creativity, my main subject. Posting every two or three days, I have to always search for inspiring news and that is great for my own creativity. • At the beginning, I wanted to share with my ex-students my discovery on the web, it was a way to continue the dialogue with them. After a while, I realize that they were not visiting my website at all. Because my blog is in french (I’m from montreal), many people in europe discover me and are now regular visitor. • I also use my blog as a huge “bookmarks bank”. I just have to search with a word I remember using in the post and “voilà”, I can find the information.

I was just beginning a blog after having let them slip for a month or more. After my first sentence I was stumped. I deleted it, and decided to check my email. Alyson, there you were, speaking to my stumped self! Thank you.
I have just completed your bootcamp and have been inspired by your query: “Whose hero do you want to be?” That is one great place to start. You had also inspired us to reply to blogs that relate to our field…(see, I’m doing that right now!)so I look forward to re-reading your notes on blogging ideas, and to getting back into the swing of things. P.S. I’ve also had your article about “falling in love with your blog again” sitting on my desktop for months, and haven’t read it. I’ll do that as well. Many thanks.

Apart from finding content from your mentioned sources which I have listed under, you can always get high quality content through guest blogging, posting reviews on your blog etc
– Your comments on my blog posts
– Your questions
– Conversations with artists at openings and studios or over coffee
– Zite or Flipboard (personal “magazine” apps for my iPad)
– Artist talks and lectures
I have found some sites that are hosting the art work or many artist, artists also have the facility to sell their art using such platforms. For example; artorca – an online art gallery provide many options like artists can host their art work, can add interesting descriptions, can sell their art work in reasonable prices. There might be many other like this, my point is don’t you think hosting art is always better as compare to the textual art related content?

This is an excellent blog post, thanks so much. I am about to start writing a blog again after almost 2 years away and am planning what it’s going to be about – mainly my art making, how my life impacts that art making, and thoughts on art and relevant content. I’m pretty experienced at writing and pulling thoughts together, and I think I can commit to posting frequently. When I was doing my previous blog I had started it on January 1 and committed to writing a post a day which was pretty easy actually (for me) but when I suffered an acute illness, that went out the window. I started writing it again after a couple of months, but the fire had gone out. Now the fire is rekindled.
so thanks again for this post which is another log to add to that fire
