Announcing: This Twitter Thing

As some of you might have noticed, I write rather lengthy posts. According to the Blog Metrics plugin, I average 638 words per post. I do this because I want to give you something of value, something that at least seems as if it’s been thought about before it was written down. It would be easier to just scour the web for tutorials and free resources to post every day, but the whole point of this site is to give amateur digital artists something new and of (what I hope would be viewed as) high quality. So instead of quick updates all the time, I’ve taken to writing longer posts every few days. This blog is getting popular quicker than I even hoped it would, and I want to stay consistent and make this blog a repository for my totally awesome articles, so using it to post a quick thought or cool links I find is out of the question.

Twitter seems to be the ideal solution. If you don’t know what Twitter is, you should know to have a Wikipedia tab open at all times. Now you can stay up to date on everything me, even some personal stuff if you’re a little freak like that! So be a dear and follow me on twitter, will you? I’ll totally appreciate it. I just started and having 2 followers makes me feel sad, so do your duty and cheer me up. If you don’t like using Twitter yourself but still want to stay updated, you can also subscribe to my Twitter RSS feed, and of course my regular feed. I’ll also see if I can find a nice Twitter widget to put in the sidebar.

What’s next, this Facebook thing I keep hearing about?

This post brought down my average wordcount, so I’ll just stop whoring myself out for now and tell you you can expect a real post, one of those lengthy ones, later in the day.
