Follow Us on Facebook and See Our Posts

Art Chick Studio on Facebook

Do you follow us on Facebook? If not, you really should! I follow lots of artsy and creative pages on Facebook, and when I come across great creative pages and finds, or inspirational quotes, or other interesting goodies, I share them on the Art Chick Studio Facebook page. I share all sorts of things there that I can’t share here on the blog. So if you are on Facebook, be sure to like our page! Just click on the image above and that will take you right to it. Click LIKE once you’re there.

Also note, due to recent changes on Facebook pages, you won’t see more than 10% of our posts…UNLESS you add us to one of your Interest Lists. Be sure that you do that, and also try to LIKE and/or SHARE our posts as much as you can. This also helps to get our page and posts seen. This is true for ANY Facebook page, not just ours. Just Liking a Facebook page is no longer enough. Even choosing Show In News Feed isn’t enough anymore! If the page isn’t on an Interest List, you will be lucky to see 10% of its posts. You’d be amazed at how many of your favorite pages’ posts you are probably missing! If you need a visual to help you , take a peek at this.

Like Art Chick Studio's Facebook Page

Just hover your cursor over the LIKE button on our page, and then the menu will open. Be sure to check Show in News Feed, AND Add to Interest List. If you already have some Interest Lists setup, just add us to one. Or create another one and then add us. I group all my pages by similar content (Creative/Arts, Shopping, Primitives, etc). And to be really sure you don’t miss any of our posts, you can also check the Get Notifications option. With that checked, if we make a post you’ll get the little red number box at the top of your Facebook page to let you know we’ve made an update.

And if you have anything creative to share, please drop by the Art Chick Studio Facebook page and share. I would love to see what inspires you. Or maybe you have a great creative resource to share. I’d love that too. Hope to see you there!

Google Friend Connect No More

GFC

I seriously don’t know how I didn’t know this until yesterday, but Google Friend Connect is ending for all non-Blogger blogs as of March 1st. I posted a bunch of information about this on my Tattered Sisters blog, so I’m posting a link here to that post in case you were in the dark too and would like more information. Just click the link below to read the full scoop on my blog post.

GOODBYE GOOGLE FRIEND CONNECT

How did I NOT know this?! I’ve also added a new LinkyFollowers widget to the right side of my blog, which will replace my GFC widget once it stops working. Feel free to visit my blog and Follow Me!

Art Chick Studio Graphics

Art Chick Studio

I’ve recently opened my Art Chick Studio Graphics online store. I am selling primarily website graphics, but I have other graphics too and will be adding more. Since I work for DIYeStores.com, my designs cater to those clients, but they can also be used for any other web host. I can do custom designs as well, and can do blog headers and such, and will be adding Etsy Banners and other designs.

Just click on the image above to hop on over and visit the Art Chick Studio Graphics store. And shoot me an email if you have any questions. I’d love to create something for you!

Just a quick post to share that my Felt Chocolate Easter Bunny and its pattern were featured by Karen at the Sew Many Ways blog.  What a nice surprise!

Creative Times January 2011

Just wanted to share with you a link to an eZine I not only love to read, but I also contribute articles to. The magazine is called Creative Times, and it’s full of great creative and crafty ideas. I write the business column for that eZine, which I’ve done for awhile now and really enjoy it.
