The art I make is the result of a life-long love of pattern, texture and color. How I teach is a skill honed by experience (I started teaching creative arts to younger kids when I was 12). After earning a B.A. in Studio Arts from Trinity University, I helped lead an internationally recognized educational foundation, designed curriculum exhibits for schools and other institutions, wrote and edited for a major daily newspaper, opened the San Antonio Children's Museum and then, a dozen years ago, took the scary but essential (for me) leap to become a fulltime artist and art teacher.

About This Blog

This weblog is about the maker's life. The teacher's path. The stitching and dyeing and printing of the craft of art cloth and art quilt. The stumbling around and the soaring, the way the words and the pictures come together. Poetry on the page and in the piecing of bright scraps together. The inner work and the outer journeys to and from. Practicalities and flights of fancy and fearful grandeur, trivial pursuits and tactile amusements. Expect new postings two or three times a week, unless you hear otherwise.

    Blogging OnLIne Course from Simpleology

    DateSaturday, February 7, 2009 at 02:31PM

     

    I like this site  -- Simpleology --  and its offerings, and though I haven't taken any of Mark Joyner's classes yet, I enjoy reading what he has to say about life, action and inner and outer peace. In order to win a a free enrollment for a new course on blogging, all you have to do is go to his site, write about it like this, paste some code on your site to get his widget. If you're still thinking about blogging, either as a personal tool, a marketing avenue or a way to record your work and process (I do all three here), check out Mark's work and see if it fits your needs.

    I'm evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they're letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

    It covers:

    • The best blogging techniques.
    • How to get traffic to your blog.
    • How to turn your blog into money.

    I'll let you know what I think once I've had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it's still free.

    Here's Mark's invitation:

    It took me 6 years to figure out that blogging was significant.

    "This is just a freakin' self-posting guest book with comments!"

    So, my company (Simpleology) decided to create a course on blogging.

    Umm ... can you say "credibility gap?"

    Apparently I can.

    Anyway, we make kick ass courseware (among other things), but kick ass it may be - your course is only as good as the content is valid, right?

    We consulted with some industry experts on the content and people who have seen it say it's great, but I'm still not in my comfort zone.

    So, here's what we've decided to do ...

    We're going to give the course away to anyone who blogs about it.

    All you have to do is mention that it exists.

    After you try it you can rip us a new one in your blog - it's all good. We accept all feedback (we may or may not agree with it - but it doesn't mean we can't be friends).

    We're not sure how this stacks up against our other courseware (about which we're very comfortable - proud even), but this is what it is.

    I'm half-curious to see what the blogosphere thinks about it.
