My Pageflake Page

My Pageflake Page centers around the same things as this blog... Art. But honestly, it is so much cooler than this blog because contains this blog and so much more. If you were to enter my pageflake, you would have immediate access to some great artblogs (including my own, obviously), art news websites, books I recommend, art search tools, and even some awesome bookmarks from my bookmarking soulmate and I. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start at the beginning.

Just a little preview of my pageflake page

So, when you first open up the page, you'll see a bunch of "flakes" which are organized under headings. The first headings you'll see are "ART BLOGS", "ART NEWS", and "BOOKS I LOVE". Obviously I tried to make the page super duper easy to navigate, so you'll find exactly what you think you'll find under those headings. Under "ART BLOGS" you'll find the RSS feed for this blog, Art21 Blog, Art News Blog, Art.blogging.la (which I wrote about here), we make money not art, and New Art. At my pageflake you'll get to see the titles of the five most recent posts on each of those blog, and the beginning of the newest post (and a little picture, if you're lucky). So instead of having to visit each and every one of those blogs to see what they've got to say today, visit my pageflake page! Or, if you're not in the mood for some blog-surfing, check out what's under "ART NEWS"...

Under "ART NEWS" you'll find the RSS feeds for five amazing websites dedicated to art news, including, but not limited to, modern art news, museum news, gallery news, cool new public art, and art history news! Don't we all want to know if DaVinci's Battle of Anghiari is really hiding behind Vasari's Battle of Marciano in Val di Chiana? Well keep checking my pageflake page for updates on that situation...

Moving on to the next feature of my pageflake page: "BOOKS I LOVE". Under this heading, you will find four summaries, pictures, and links to four books that I have read and loved. Each of the books covers some aspect of modern art and are perfect for anyone interested in art, whether they're a art history student or just someone who loves art (uh, who couldn't?).

But wait, there's more! If you scroll down the page a bit, you'll find even more art resources. Under the art blogs section is an RSS feed for my art bookmarks from Diigo. And just to the right of those are the art bookmarks from my bookmarking soulmate. The pages that are bookmarked include museum websites, gallery websites, art image collection websites, art blogs, and more.

Still haven't found what you're looking for? Or just want MORE? Above my soulmate's bookmarks you'll find "SEARCH TOOLS" which includes a universal blog search and a universal news search. The keyword, "art", is already loaded for your convenience.

So, pretty much what I'm saying is: my pageflake page is an amazing place to find all things art in cyberspace. So next time your hunger for art hits (which is, like, every five seconds if you're anything like me) go straight to your computer and visit My Pageflake Page!
