I’ve just read a wonderful article on ‘trackbacks’ which *finally* takes the mystery out of it and actually explains what they are. (There’s a link to her blog in my sidebar.)
Nothing to do with tiny animals leaving paw-prints in your journal.

Read this enlightening article by Susan Reynolds:

The Truth about Trackbacks - How they Work

How Trackbacks Work

It’s all about how to connect.

While you’re there, check out some of the other interesting stories and links…if you are a creative person you will like the supportive atmosphere and scads of good information she makes available.

I happened to be reading an article from her “files from the funny zone” and the guest author, Mai Liis :

An Enmeshed Tale - Deep in the Heart of Texas

…turned out to be an artist in AJMarketing (on Yahoo), another fabulous group I am in. It is a wonderful source of art marketing and web tutorials! Small World?

Here is Mai Liis’ wonderful website and a link to her journal:

It’s really just one big party time around the online arts neighborhood.

Have you noticed that the people you look to for support and encouragment in your career sometimes have the opposite effect on you?

They feel that art is only a “hobby“.

They think that art is not a serious career.

They warn you about negative consequences as if to prepare you for inevitable failure, and ‘paint’ (ouch) a frightening picture of what will happen if you don’t “get a real job“.

My favorite marketing coach brings some clarity to the doubt and fear that surrounds us as dedicated artists.
