Submitting URLs

Now that there is some content, I've moved on to submitting the URLs and ensuring the Google Analytics script is added to the pages

In the meantime, Jill has added some of her work to HOUZZ..so I've now added a new link to that :-)



I think another article worth writing is on the life of an artist from a 3rd person perspective. Even though we're married, I guess there is some objectivity there.

Adding Content

What makes any site is good content. So, I will add additional pages describing different aspects of Jill's art; to include, what I love about her skill being her use of light, reflection, and water.

Additionally, I think it would be helpful to talk about her studio..the technical build-out of it. This adds a perspective of the level of professionalism involved in everything she does.

As I add these pages to search engines, I am hoping that will help attract people.

Day 2: Adding links and getting more comfortable with the look and feel

Day 2 and productive. I've added a number of links to this site. Kind of tough creating a background from a guy's perspective for a fan site to a woman, but I think the one selected is a good compromise.

Below is a picture of Jill and me out and about last year.


As I ramp up this blog, I'm trying to identify how best to SEO it. Google is obviously the first route, but there's also the link sharing, etc...

Part of the interesting thing here is networking remotely.

I think part of what will make this more interesting are areas I see as strengths in defining Jill's credibility which may otherwise go unnoticed. First, I'm amazed at her dedication and also her technique. She uses some serious engineering techniques to get her desired effects. The sketch, measurements and tracing are a subset of her entire process. For more on her technical process, check out: http://jpwatercolors.com/blog/

Kicking off my fan page for my wife as an inspiring fine artist but outside the bubble

    
So, I am now on a parallel voyage with my wife discovering how to get her artwork more recognized. Hope it works :-)

Thought it might be useful to journal this attempt. But it might also be helpful to know why I think Jill’s art is worth the effort. See for yourself:
