			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever I log in to my blog, I always try to create new informative post about <strong>oil paintings</strong>, else it would be a new post on <strong>Chinese culture</strong>.</p>
<p>As my <strong>blog</strong> remains logging in on one of the browser tabs, I switch to other tab to view the notifications from my <strong><a title="Add me as friend or Subscribe" href="http://facebook.com/ColorPainting" target="_blank">Facebook</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Then toggle to another neighboring tab with <strong><a title="Follow me, I tweet to social" href="http://twitter.com/ColorPainting" target="_blank">Twitter</a></strong> log in to re-tweet, thanking those who followed me. Plus one browser tab parking next to Twitter on the newly signed up <strong><a title="Add me to your Cicles." href="https://plus.google.com/115137849030052712728" target="_blank">Google Plus</a></strong> account.</p>
<p>I continue to read my emails and news feed on <strong>oil paintings</strong> and <strong>Chinese culture</strong>. The emails that never seems to stop receiving.</p>
<p>Wow! I look triply busy than a bumblebee bringing its nectar to the hive.</p>
<p><img class=" wp-image-583  alignright" style="border: 8px none transparent; margin: 8px;" title="Portrait of Andy Warhol, by Zeng Fanzhi" src="http://ColorPaintingArt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Portrait-of-Andy-Warhol-by-Zeng-Fanzhi.jpg" alt="Portrait of Andy Warhol, by Zeng Fanzhi" width="225" height="224" /></p>
<p>Fingers typing shortcut keys exercise more actively than my legs can jog round the rubber tracks. Flipping, toggling, typing, eyes gazing from left to right, top to bottom.</p>
<p>Social media is actually more addictive than cigarettes or alcohol.</p>
<p>By the time I reminded myself of <strong>blogging</strong>, it is already lunch time.</p>
<p><strong>Does that describe you as a new blogger? </strong></p>
<p>Time passed. The result of my <strong>blog</strong> is nullify by the time spent on social media and emails. I ought to be more organized and be self-discipline.</p>
<p><strong>SO I did for the past 2 weeks</strong>. Not <strong>blogging</strong>, but for my planing and preparation. I put in effort to <strong>mind-map and to encapsulate all my content for this blog</strong>.</p>
<p>Beside <strong>oil paintings</strong> and <strong>Chinese culture</strong>, there are series of activities adding in the pipeline. I even to expand the topics even further about <strong>contemporary Chinese artists</strong>.</p>
<p>That include <strong>Ai Weiwei,</strong> China&#8217;s most famous dissident artist,<strong> </strong><strong>Zeng Fanzhi</strong>, international artist based in Beijing, and many notable <strong>Chinese artists</strong>.<em><br />
</em></p>
<p>Beside <strong>Chinese artists</strong>, another important attribute of sharing in this blog is <strong>art auction</strong> held in HongKong by <strong>Christie&#8217;s</strong> and <strong>Sotheby&#8217;s</strong>. I be learning to catch up on those events.</p>
<p>Both auction house have been proactively evolving their presence in Asia, particularly, in<strong> fine art paintings</strong> from Eastern Asia, <strong>China</strong>.</p>
<p>The knowledge I&#8217;m having is by far too shallow to share with the audience reading my blog. However, <strong>it is one of the direction I be looking forward in the coming years.</strong></p>
<p>Fundamentally, knowledge of <strong>oil paintings</strong> is the crucial element here, as well as topics about <strong>Chinese culture</strong> which is my forte. Like what I have mentioned on my last post, <strong>oil paintings</strong> will be a challenge for me to develop my knowledge-based research skill.</p>
<p>There are a couple of items I need to spend time planing on this <strong>blog</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Blogging</strong> is like a <strong>Chinese</strong> chef from royal palace, using his creativity concocting the special ingredients of authentic cuisine. Otherwise, beheaded by the palace king if food yucks!. *<em>Joke aside</em>.</p>
<p>Here is another analogy about my intention of posting genuine content in my <strong>blog</strong>.</p>
<p>In the palance dinner, you are the <strong>invited guests</strong> and VIPs, while Google, the search engine king, will hunger for newly written and descriptive content.</p>
<p><strong>Does tantalizingly delicious food arouse your appetite?</strong> Same goes to written content for Google, ever desire for mouthwatering delicacy content.</p>
<p>I shall list my action-items here to complete before my next post scheduled next week.</p>
<ol>
<li>Re-organizing the content, and reshuffling of tags and categories. Some are redundant.</li>
<li>Sharing a draft of roadmap on upcoming posts for next 6 months.</li>
<li>Put up the About.me page to briefly describe this blog. Short and succinct.</li>
<li>Optimize the loading speed of the web pages. Technical for webmaster, who is also me.</li>
</ol>
<p>One last note, be free to comment if you have opinions or improvements on my blog.</p>
