Chapter 9 Blog

Chapter 9 goes in depth about having an 'online presence' in todays world. The author says that it's not a matter of if you should or should not put your artwork online, it's a matter of how it should be done. It's very important to be online nowadays because the internet and cyberspace is the best place and easiest way to communicate. There are a few different ways to go about this. You can join an existing group website, use a web template, or just create your own site. Almost all artists, whether famous or not, have a website of their own for their artwork now. I think that would be one of the most effective ways of getting out there, but probably not the easiest. The nice thing about having your own website is that you can have full and total control about how the site looks and how your work is presented.
The chapter goes into more detail about what should be added into the site and other ideas about display and that sort of thing.

Here's a great example of Martin Parr's Website.
