how can I make an art blog somewhere?

Deviantart is really confusing to me, so you'll have to explain to me how to use it, or give me another site to upload drawings and stuff.

Hi. I'm a painter and I have an art blog on blogspot.com. It's hosted by Google and really easy to use. I am not techie at all and I have been able to do it by myself.

I get people to look by linking new posts on facebook and twitter. Also, if you visit other blogs and leave comments, those people tend to come visit you. I have made good art friends through having a blog, friends that give me great feedback about my work, and have also led to opportunities to show my work. I have been in four shows around the country just through having a blog. I wasn't even trying to make "connections" like that. Was just hoping for good people to talk about painting with. It is a good way of meeting people who respond to the kind of work you do.
