My Upcoming Projects

Besides updating my two blogs, I am working on a few other projects that may be of interest.

One project, that is ongoing, is the Blog Carnival: Art and Travel - art arount the world, that I host on ArtMusing. A Blog Carnival is a mini-ezine. Other bloggers submit relevant content to the Carnival by a deadline. Then I publish the edition. I hope you have the time to read these Carnivals. They have interesting and entertaining content. The next Carnival is scheduled for July 31 and I am already getting some very good submissions. This has been a great experience for me.

A second project that I am working on is a Hub Page that follows the theme of my Blog Carnival: Art and Travel. It is more like a blog featuring guest bloggers' content, in addition to my own.

My third project is a Squidoo lens with the theme of Creativity. I have found some very good blog content to feature on it. Since I choose the content I have to get permission from the blog authors before I publish it. It will also include some of my own relevant content.

As soon as I complete my projects I will publish the links to share with my valued guests. Leave comments and let me know what you think.

My New Poem

Hello,

I wanted to share my new poem and art illustration with you. It can also be viewed on the Writers Cafe website.

The Little White Sailboat A Poem by GailAlexander

This poem tries to evoke a hot, somewhat lonely day at the lake.

The Little White Sailboat
by Gail Alexander

The little white boat sits alone on the weathered gray dock.

Making Connections

I have been busy exploring a variety of websites. I have been learning about linking to other sites, swapping links, marketing, etc. I have been having fun and learning a lot. Some of the sites tell their visitors that they will make gobs of money. I will be happy with a little extra cash!

So, if what I have learned "pays off," in more ways that just money, I should bring more visitors to my site, besides my friends and relatives, who come to look but not talk!

My ArtMusing.com (registered domain name with Verio) is still under construction. I guess I could have went with a cookie-cutter site but I wanted to create something somewhat original. It is definitely the slow way. On the other hand, I have been gaining in skills and knowledge this way.
