How to Blog with Mad and Noisy Artists

When you arrive at the Mad and Noisy Gallery Blog, you can follow one or two basic procedures to begin:
1.  click  VIEW BLOG to read existing postings,  and then
    click  COMMENTS  and type in your message.  When finished you may  PREVIEW first;  then to "publish" your message,
    click  POST  COMMENT;  then exit.  

2. Click  NEW POST  to type in your new and original contribution to all members.

You can give your posting a TITLE,  and also a LABEL  ( to put postings into categories for easy viewing in the future.)   The label might be, for example,  your NAME, or GROUP SHOWS, or OPENINGS,  or maybe WOOD CRAFTS, or LANDSCAPE PAINTING, or THOUGHTS about the GALLERY.

3. POSTING IMAGES;  In NEW POST, click "compose", and then click on the ICON that looks like a framed picture.  You should get a menu that says, " Add image from your computer " above a Bar that allows you to BROWSE.   You can also design the layout and add text.  (  I haven't actually found this menu myself, but this is what their HELP directions say to do.  Things seem to be in a state of flux with Blogger at the moment so I will try again later.

Hi all Artist-members of the Mad and Noisy.

Welcome to the joys of  artistic blogging.  I hope that many of you members of the gallery will find that this is a useful and even fun way to keep in touch with fellow artists, to learn more about their current projects, to exchange ideas about the creative processes being undertaken, and to keep up with news from the gallery on a continuing basis.
    Please contribute your thoughts to this on-going dialogue, and/or ask questions about something that might puzzle you, with the hope that some one or more of the members will try to provide an answer.  As secretary of the board, I hope to be able to keep members up to date here with general news from the gallery.
    Very soon you will be able to find some posts describing how to take part in this blog
