damuse teaches wordpress to artists

i teach wordpress to artists

Most days I promote artists. Sometimes I tell you what I’m up to at the end of a post. Today’s post is all about what I’m doing. Time to pay the bills so I can keep offering the great content on this free website.

I teach artists how to create WordPress websites that showcase their art. Beautiful. Flexible. WordPress. I’m DAM good at it. Really.

I am excited to be teaching a special June session of this 4-week class! Take the class and take control of your online presence!

I also work privately with students who prefer one-on-one assistance. More info here.

new on dam: featured art visual board

Just a quick post to let you know about a NEW feature on DAM:

The Featured ART Visual Board

There is a link for the page on the DAM menu at the top of the site for easy access any time you need a visual feast. There is also an image in the right sidebar that links to the page.

The page operates like Pinterest with infinite scrolling. It’s simply a different way to access and look at DAM posts. See an image that grabs your eye and want to know more? Just click on it and it will bring you straight to the post.

Right now it’s showing ceramic art – I’m working on different filters – the show is a work in progress and will change regularly.

Let me know what you think of this new feature.

Would you like to see the entire blog operate this way or leave it the way it is with 100 or more featured artists on a separate page?

Talk to me!

dam gets a facelift and damuse gets news!

I did some cleaning and polishing behind the scenes and now DAM looks all shiny and new. It was quite overdue – on the long list of things that had to wait until I was feeling better.

And I am.

Feeling better.

After almost a year, the doctors finally think they know what the problem might be. It’s not a definitive diagnosis yet, but we have a compass and the course is being charted. The upside to all of this is that I have had the great pleasure of spending more time with my sweet Sofia as I search for answers in NYC. Truly my best medicine.

I’ll update you when we are more certain, though many of my Facebook friends already know some of the details due to me shouting about it rather loudly the day the doctors thought they cracked the case. I’m not 100% yet – this will take some time, but I AM feeling much better.

That means many things for me, and for you it means I should be back to regular posting soon. Right now I am catching up to all of those things on my To-Do list!

Oh, but I digress. . .back to DAM’s facelift: It’s a sleeker, cleaner look – truly showcasing the images, and there are buttons for you to share on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter. You can even share posts with your friends by email. Note the icons on the left side of the website – you will also find them at the bottom of each post. Have a look around. I’m still tweaking things and hope to unveil a new thing or two soon. Keep your eye on the menu of pages at the top of the site – new pages will be popping up as I get the tweaks finished.

Sofia, Terry & Jess: Mi Familia!

Many thanks for your patience as I navigate this illness. . .it has been a journey and I have learned a lot. Thank you for letting me share a bit of it with you.

Now I am going to follow Sofia’s lead and take a nap, then fix and update my other websites. Once that’s done I’ve got some announcements for you!

Back next week with a post or two. Until then, enjoy my growing family (click on the pics to see the images full size – aren’t those eyes the sweetest?)
