Michele,
I think you have an excellent point.
I was calling my blog 'what's new' with a link on my homepage to it and I'm not sure that really explained what I was doing - which was blogging. I have another webpage on my site I call "Charity and Events" where I post upcoming charity events where I'm donating a painting/portrait and shows. I have no need for a place to post awards.
Not yet anyway.
I decided, for me, that I either need to use the word BLOG to let people know what I'm doing or put my blogging on my homepage. I have put my blog on my homepage, along with photos of my new work. Now we'll see if that gets me more traffic. My theory is that people might like to read a blog, but don't take the time to find it. So now visitors can't miss it.
It does get difficult, doesn't it, to keep everything somewhat streamlined, clear, and easy to navigate.
