After giving it some thought, I’ve decided to open this site up to other commenters on a trial basis for the rest of 2007. At the beginning of next year, I’ll decide whether to continue in this format.
So if you are interested in becoming a contributor, please let me know. I would very much appreciate your participation. You are welcome to post once or often. If you already have an art blog, you would be welcome to cross-post when that makes sense and to include links to your own site. I would only expect you to post on the general topics that this site has tended to explore, although if you’d like to expand into other areas of visual art, such as art criticism, modern art, other painting media, etc., that would be fine. This should not become a place to showcase your own art or your own business, although it would be fine to post works in progress as a means of showing others what you are doing and how you do it.
If you want to become a contributor, you’ll first need to register if you have not already done so. Then send me an email using the link in the sidebar. I’ll upgrade your account to “Author” status, which will allow you to post to the site. I’ll send instructions—it’s pretty easy. Posts will appear without first needing to be approved by me.
This does not mean, by the way, that I won’t be posting here anymore.
I’ll continue to be the editor here. I won’t allow commercial posts or posts that I think are misleading. If a contributor is participating in a way that I don’t think is helpful, I’ll politely let him or her know that it just isn’t working out. I am, however, quite willing to allow other voices than my own (as I have in comments since this blog started) and I expect to post comments rather than do anything intrusive. I just want to be clear that I will take responsibility for this to be a site where people can go for useful information about making art.
Thanks to everyone who has stayed with this site, posted comments, and sent me email about this site. I’m excited about the possibility that other people’s participation will markedly improve All the Strange Hours.
