Can anyone give a recommendation for a good blogging community for artists? I'd like to do some more networking beyond LJ. Is there a network of blogs that galleries, collectors, professors, and museum folx look at? Thanks in advance!

I am so very vague on this, but my husband was trying to explain to me something about how some blogs are set up so that if you link to someone, they know about it, so they can link back to you. So if I link to you in my blog saying Deb has great art, check it out, you know I did that and you can link back to me. So it creates a network. If anyone else here can explain this better, or even knows what I am talking about, cool, otherwise I will see if he can explain it, since he is supposed to be helping me with my crafting blog.

You can do that just by reading the referal logs, though I've no idea if that's what your husband was talking about.

It's only possible if you've access to your logs, and read them regularly, though, which most people do not do, and so you can't really count on it as a way of networking.

I think I've seen that before on people's blogs- it's called Blogroll. And they list blogs they read under it.

sounds like you are referring to the trackback system. good stuff.
