(posted on 12 Apr 2013)
Earlier this year, we wrote a detailed article about How to Blog and What to Blog About. And, many of you are now using the ArtSites Blog system and are blogging regularly. Congratulations!

Our blogging system is tied into our newsletter system.
What this means is that when you create a blog post,you have two options for getting your blog post read and distributed:
- You can simply leave your blog post on your website for online visitors to read, OR
- You can ALSO send it out to everyone on your mailing list
Some of the benefits of this system are:
So, if you're blogging about a work-in-progress, you may want to post interim updates on your blog for those interested in all the intermediate steps.
However, when you're done, you may want to make a more formal blog post / announcement and send that final post to everyone on your mailing list.
Or, maybe you have an event or exhibit coming up. Using our blogging system, you can post the event information to your blog AND send out a newsletter at the same time!
Using our blog system this way makes sure BOTH your online website visitors AND your mailing list members know about your most important activities.
So, the next time you want to announce something to your collectors, friends, family, and fans, feel free to create a blog post and if it's really important, email it to them, as well! :-)
Want to know how to use our blogging system and how to send out newsletters, here are two tutorials that'll walk you through the process step-by-step: And, once again, here is a link to our previous article with more details on: How to Blog and What to Blog About.
If you have any other questions or suggestions about blogs, simply let us know! We'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas!
- You decide which posts JUST live on your blog and which ones ALSO get sent as a newsletter
- You don't have to create separate newsletters
