I don't thin...Oh, I totally agree with Ronnie. I don't think the two are in competition, I think of them as helping each other. FB posts help feed the blog traffic. The more blog traffic, and the better the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) - the higher the ranking on Google searches.<br /><br />I have a Friend page on FB and a business page (Louisville Calligraphy and Art). I have more blogs than a person should, but the ones I use most are www.letterladysletters.blogspot.com and www.weddingletterlady.blogspot.com. These two are for public consumption; the other two are more for family and friends, though anyone is welcome.<br />I love the personal and immediade connections on FB, and like Ronnie, I do not friend everyone on my personal page. I do worry about the FB reach, however, and am considering disconnecting from Words with Friends on FB because of that. That Big Brother is watching seems very real.letterladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05133983590494020592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046813538312623464.post-66553309828079888662012-06-05T13:07:37.229+10:002012-06-05T13:07:37.229+10:00Hi Eric, Leslie and Jo, thanks for your feedback -...Hi Eric, Leslie and Jo, thanks for your feedback - I agree with the personal approach with blogging. I feel like I have made new friends this way.<br />Thanks Terri, Julie and Diane - yes, I think FB is more for the younger ones, and I have decided to mainly use it to keep in touch with family and to share pics.<br /><br />The universe is sending me conformation big time as well - I have fiddled with my FB account and have messed it all up - I think I have 2 accounts now and I can't access the old one.

I love to click a blog, read, be inspired then click on what that blogger is interested in.<br /><br />I look forward to your posts. I just love your art! I'm getting more into paper and less in fabric though I will probably never give up on the cloth.<br /><br />Favorite of your two gorgeous pieces????? Humm.... hard to decide. Maybe the left one - kimono style.<br /><br />Keep up your great art!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03208787320102835502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046813538312623464.post-8036680011708514872012-06-04T16:12:45.020+10:002012-06-04T16:12:45.020+10:00Glad to hear that the opening went well and congra...Glad to hear that the opening went well and congratulations on your 201st post!!<br /> <br />I honestly feel slightly intimidated by Facebook and enjoy the more (to me anyway) friendly and personal side to blogging.<br /> <br />I love both the little books but the red one really calls to me.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing more about your adventures in life.Julie Marshallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046813538312623464.post-54384784557236025722012-06-04T14:57:34.075+10:002012-06-04T14:57:34.075+10:00It's blogging for me; and I don't find it ...It's blogging for me; and I don't find it particularly time consuming. The time consuming part is behind the scenes I guess in scanning or photographing my art then cropping it, etc to get it ready to blog. Writing the actual post and inserting photos just takes a few minutes. Part of that might be due to the fact that I don't often delve too deeply into philosophical topics - I just enjoy sharing what I do and what I find out there to share. Love the books and would love to own the red one - I'm wondering which wall it should hang on! :)Terriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989512064950173723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046813538312623464.post-24445772535096559702012-06-04T05:20:38.297+10:002012-06-04T05:20:38.297+10:00Congratulations... 200 blogs marks a lot of time s...Congratulations... 200 blogs marks a lot of time spent at the computer. I agree that blogging is VERY time consuming, but it IS a more personal communication with the internet community. Facebook can be handy for 'chatting' but I don't care for it much.<br />'Culture 2 Culture' is a comprehensive and cohesive show that everyone in the vicinity should see.

I take the time to read an artists thoughts which I certainly appreciate. Blogging seems more personal. <br /><br />One facebook I see a lot of good art I would not otherwise see, some times from artists that speak another language (we all speak the language of art.)<br /><br />I also use FB to keep up with the goings on of the younger family members. <br /><br />Congratulations on your 200th blog post!Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046813538312623464.post-32521802691964493162012-06-03T21:19:18.957+10:002012-06-03T21:19:18.957+10:00Hi Noela, congratulations with your 200 posts and ...Hi Noela, congratulations with your 200 posts and your exhibition!<br />I prefer blogging over fb. For me blogging gives me the opportunity to create a more personal way of showing my work. I really like all the social media but you need enough time to regularly update them.So, my fb account mostly sleeps.(And I am too a 2 finger typist...)CERULEANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998783789023049338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046813538312623464.post-39976923449604494722012-06-03T17:27:05.148+10:002012-06-03T17:27:05.148+10:00Hmmmm..lots of food for thought here Ronnie, thank...Hmmmm..lots of food for thought here Ronnie, thank you- it must take up HEAPS of time. I find that I need half a day to post a decent blog - by the time I edit my piccies, triple check my content, link to the other artists etc, and I'm a 2 finger typist. I think I will keep FB mainly for family and the occasional interesting business event, but will keep blogging for stimulation and art friendships- don't think I can keep up with both professionally.Noela Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14474975263132770651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046813538312623464.post-29839125932601902142012-06-03T17:10:38.092+10:002012-06-03T17:10:38.092+10:00double congrats

I'm more careful to ensure that what I post has merit/accuracy/interest..... whereas in fb I connect with many mates from far far away..... now when I'm talking fb here I mean on my personal profile.... I also have a fb page for both my bookworks studio > https://www.facebook.com/sams.creek.bookworks and an artists page > https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rhonda-Ayliffe-artist/120989177486 (and I admin fb pages for non-profit groups too....) <br /><br />On my fb pages I augment things to and from my blogs.... a fb page for my 'business' type things means that I can connect with folk that I wouldn't necessarily 'friend' (I'm actually v. careful about that with fb) - this is a way of doing things that works for me....ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260679591630131813noreply@blogger.com
