Okay, I must admit that I have been dragging my feet on the whole website thing.

I’ve owned my domain name now for several years. Tried starting it a couple times… then stopped. I even had a friend who volunteered to build it for me while she was pregnant and then home with her newborn… because she was “going to have so much extra time on her hands.” Well, Jimmy is now four and a half… and still no website. I keep telling people that I am spending too much time making pots – and not enough time making websites. They seemed to understand… while I was obviously rationalizing.

So truth be told… as blogs have become more popular, I’ve been intrigued by the ongoing dialog that it allows – instead of a website that pretty much just sits there. I like the idea of being able to share my ideas, my artwork, my inspirations, and parts of my life. So I had been preparing to start my blog… yep, “preparing” for quite a while with no results. It wasn’t until my friend & fellow potter Emily Murphy started a little friendly nudging to get me started. She’s been blogging now for over four years and has a very substantial blog following. So when she offered to help get me started, and ponied-up the help of her partner Ian’s tech skills… I decided to bite the bullet and get started. Surprisingly… it was a lot easier than I expected. Who knew?

So now I have a blog… which is also doing double-duty as my website. There are pages you can open with the standard website stuff. But the ongoing dialog & photos will be in the blog. I hope that you find my ramblings somewhat interesting, and that you return frequently to see what’s going on in my world. Whether it’s my ongoing musings & inspirations, pottery production, art fair schedule or random things that strike me as interesting.

Besides, all the cool kids are doing it…
