Getting started.....again

I had quite a surprise this summer.  My gallery owner called to say he couldn't find my web page anymore. He was trying to show a potential client more of my work.  After checking into it, I found that the host site must have gone belly up and took my pages with it.  Can you say disappearing web presence?  What timing.  In Bozeman... gearing up for tourist summer months, the busiest time of year and all my images just gone.  In 1996 a web design cost $500-$600 and hours and hours of resizing and sending images to the web guru.  The thing that really got my goat is that I also lost my domain name.  Ok, so what to do?  Well, I quickly learned that my web-site and domain name were pretty old school compared with all the cool social networking tools available.  But the problem is my brain is also pretty old school.  Now this old dog doesn't mind learning new tricks, but I still can't quite wrap my mind around the on-line directions of backgrounds, skins, templates, what's free and what's not, linkings and the rest.  But I'm trying.  I just may have to get my handsome grandson Jake to help me out.  So in the mean time, I am going to give it a try, linking my Face Book with a Wix webpage and this Blog.  It's all in the construction phase for now.  Hopefully I will be able to create a beautiful, harmonic representation of who I am as an artist and 20 years of transition.  Good luck to me!
