Blogger is Still Tech Challenged

 I tried adding a picture to the top of my blog. Obviously, it didn't happen. I have some other ideas. I don't think Blogger does. Blogger is probably not comfortable with me having ideas. Sigh. I didn't miss this part.

While I wasn't blogging, I started spending more time on DeviantArt. I post art nearly every day. I have several watchers. I get some favorites. Occasionally, I even get a comment or two. 

I am doing a lot of AI art. I see this as art exercises. It also helps me refine what prompts I put in and how I word things. The way I see things is NOT how others view the world. Because I must carefully word phrases, I am getting better at writing stories to sell my art on Etsy. 

My shop still isn't up to par. It is better. If I logged in daily, I might start making regular sales. Etsy isn't tech savvy either; I struggled with my banner. I never could get the size right. Things would look great on my desktop monitor and be wildly distorted once uploaded. I finally opted for a small dragon drawing as my banner, and I used the graphic I worked on for ages as my product spotlight. Just because Etsy makes suggestions does not mean I need to follow them to the letter. 

I didn't change what I make, and I haven't tried to narrow down products to make them fit into one type of niche. I am not concerned with only selling quilts or mirrors. Instead I changed how I present what I make- I decided I make whimsy goth. So I can make quilts with dragons, needlepoint skulls, and any kind of mirror is magick. I have my horse art, my key chains, and my art cubes that don't fit with anything. Goth covers whatever is weird. Whimsy covers whatever isn't dark/black. 

As I progress with writing, I will add my shop and my Deviant page. Maybe I can even get a picture at the top of the blog. I'd also like to add a word cloud, or at least start labeling posts. Tomorrow, I'll write some life updates. 

Blessed be, my dears. Stay safe.
