I've noticed a distinct lack of comments on the blog page - is this because people aren't reading them, or just not commenting? You'd be missing out on a few interesting recent posts if you haven't read them lately. By the way, he said, casually as if it had just occurred to him, I have an independent blog on which I've just introduced a Keep in touch by Email facility - so, if you send the server (not me) your email, you will automatically receive the latest words of incalculable and inestimable wisdom straight from my lovely lips. http://wightpaint.blogspot.co.uk/ should take you there. But read the POL blogs too - lots of useful tips and interesting processes just at the moment. And while I'm in proselytizing mode - take a look at Techniques and Tips on this website: there's a wealth of stuff there which you MAY be missing out on: I know I was, until I took a look this morning.

Oh the shame - go on, have a look. There are some very good recent blogs, and if you don't visit the page, well - it's your own time you're wasting, as the deeply unlovely Mrs Arnold used to tell us at All Saints Primary. (Oh she was a ..... well she was; she really was; a complete and utter one, too...)

I've read a low-single-figures number of blog posts. There was a short series under the banner of "The solo creative" or something like that which was OK, but after a not-so-hot third post that lady disappeared without trace. Apart from those, which had a thread in the Forum to talk about the blog posts, I haven't really bothered.

Try again, though? I know there were some weird posts..... but the more recent ones are, for the time being and until some idiot hijacks them, of interest. Or - you could follow my independent blog : I mean - what huge fun!

I do tend to have a quick browse if something catches my interest. I also comment on some of the items. I don't write many blogs mind you, being a quiet and introvert sort of chap, I tend to keep my thought's to myself! (believe that if you want!).

Never blogged and don't look at it - can't see the point when we have a forum like this one - when it's not being infiltrated by an idiot that is.

Oh there's more than one idiot, Michael - unless it's the same pest with multiple sign-ins; I lost count at 350 posts - everyone needs a hobby, but this is not one I would freely have chosen on a Bank Holiday Monday! The blogs CAN be interesting - when not infested.

I subscribed to yours as requested in your blog on here but I have read a few blogs on here and mostly feel dissatisfied. They all seem too short and superficial for my liking and a great number just feel like an attempt to drum up business (perhaps I am just cynical but those posted by people who host courses, holidays or are professional artists presumably do have some level of self-promotion to them) So I do not avidly follow the blogs but if something does catch my eye I will click on it.

By the time I've gone through all the recent Gallery postings, commented on a number of them, read through all the Forum threads with the exception of spam, left some comments, ... I think you can see where I'm going with this. POL pretty well takes up all the time I can allocate to online as it is. However I will try to sign up for yours Robert as I always enjoy your posts.
