Well, the next few days will be a little bit different from normal, but hopefully in a good way. Here’s what’s happening:
On Wednesday (August 1st) I’ll be completely upgrading EmptyEasel.com with a new design I’ve been working on during the past few months. I think it will be a BIG improvement in both usability and aesthetics.
Since computer programming isn’t really my forte I’m going to be working on this upgrade all week, and unfortunately that means no new articles until the 5th of August.
If you come across something that isn’t working quite right during the week, my apologies. I’ll do my best to keep all the old articles available during this transition, but there may be a few temporary glitches until the upgrade is complete.
If you’re wondering why I’m redesigning, one major reason is that I’d like to make EmptyEasel more helpful to artists who are considering selling their art online.
More specifically, I’m adding a new section on EmptyEasel called the “EE Art Market” which will contain comparison charts and traffic stats for several art-selling websites available today.
I’m pretty excited about that, and I hope you will be too.
There will also be more ways to get involved with EmptyEasel, including adding your own expert advice or art techniques, AND ways that you can use EmptyEasel to help drive traffic to your own artwork online.
You’ll see what I mean as the new design goes up.
Check in throughout the week to see my progress if you’d like, and stay tuned for more updates on the new features!
All the best,
-Dan
PS. I’ve also decided to have a full week of featured artists starting August 6th so send in your artwork if you’d like to be considered.
