Hi everyone! I'm in favor of blogs. Alex Tyng has already mentioned my idea of using a blog as one's "News" site. I'm glad its worked out so well for you Alex! It's quick to set up a blog, free (if you use certain providers like Blogger), and easy to use. You can put in pictures, photos, text, links to museums or organizations..whatever! If you want to see what I am talking about, take a look at my news blog, which I link to from my website:

A lot of the "painting a day" folks use a blog as an easy way to showcase their daily output. It's much less effort than constantly ftp-ing images, writing html and altering a website page.
Sometimes a personal "how I do my work and live my life" type blog can attract people to one's website. In fact, I even once made a sale through someone finding my personal blog (
http://www.genrecookshop.com) and being interested enough to then check out my painting website. I've met other artists around the world, and also have been invited to participate in some shows, all due to friendly contacts made through this blog!
