Blogs have become an increasingly popular forum in the discussion of the fine arts. Blogs allow a user to share their individual experiences of the arts in a larger, online community. Most bloggers want their blog to be seen, talked about, and, ultimately, respected by others in their area of interest. But respect for your writing is hard to come by in the blogging world. Fine arts blogs require an expert understanding of digital writing due to the expectations set by the community. Our blog is made for people who want to share their opinions about the arts, but might not have started their own blog yet. That said, we also want to help those who have started blogs to better them, and create a blog as successful as those which we mention here. While the passion and the interest for the material may be there, the familiarity with blogging might not be. We want to educate them and allow them to learn about the parts of a blog, and how to construct their own, individual blog well.
