In today's world if you or your business are not on the web then
you don't exist.
But learning about the web or a computer procedure is hard work. I
am trying to use Evernote to write on my computers. With it I could
write on any of my computers and work on the same piece with
someone even if they are using a different system. But I need a
tutor, a real person, to help me learn.
In the 1970s the American Association of University Women
decided women should learn to use computers. They promoted
mini courses designed for women, and they became wildly
popular.
In similar fashion, the Killington Arts Guild is now offering a
workshop for artists to learn to create a website. No prior web
experience is needed or knowledge of html code. (Many of us,
artists and others, don't even know what an html code is.) Website
users can publish biographies and resumes; create custom looking
designs, incorporate artwork videos, slideshows, attachments and
text, share photos and videos with others, as well as create an
online store to sell artwork.
Susan Wacker-Donle is the webmaster of our vibrant website
www.killingtonartsguild.org. The website has made us part of a
global arts village and established a virtual home for our creative
community keeping us informed and connected. It includes a calendar
of events for the year, forms for registering, exhibits in the
Gallery, applications for workshops and membership information.
Here you will find the Mountain Times weekly column, a slideshow
on the Gallery opening "The Art of Life" and a Guild Photo
Album spotlighting people, events and talents of our diverse
membership. This is an excellent example of what a website can
be.
We invite you to visit our website and to take the workshop,
"Creating a Free Website with Google Sites" conducted by Susan
Wacker-Donle KAG Webmaster Saturday May 19 10-2 in the Killington
Arts Guild Gallery at Cabin Fever Gifts on Route 4 opposite the
Killington Access Road. Fee for members: $40; Non-members $50. To
