Publishing Blues

My artist wife wrote a book for artists - Passion and Paint in Creating "Great Art". We did our own layout work using Microsoft Office Publisher, and a computer we had built especially for graphics work. I am printing the books on a Xerox laser printer and binding them with equipment from the Maping Co. in Finland. This has been an enjoyable process, and the finished product is quite satisfying. Marketing, to date, is neither enjoyable nor satisfying.

We "put together" a website hosted by our email server (Earthlink). www.dahlstenart.com It attracts very few visitors, and they stay very briefly. I don't know what puts them off - perhaps some of you could click on it and suggest some improvements(?). Is our experience a common one? I feel very much the novice having seen some of your webpages and read of your successes. - john
