copyright registration

is not for the easily confused.

i'm sure once i do it a few times it will seem silly that i am so confused by it

but right now.....OMG

TIPS and file sizes  ok i been sort of trying to figure this out

i have 70 paintings to upload as a batch

this link tells you how to prepare your browser to start the process as the website is particular about how you do things

and i am trying to see how to do it...... i did find out that windows will zip a folder! i had to go on the net to discover that piece of information 

i found THAT information HERE- how to make a zip file

there there is FAQ 

and TYPES of files you can upload HERE

and a basic guide to online registration HERE

and i had to edit to add this link to a pdf file that step by step walks you through.....i must have read this file a dozen times already....

i am overwhelmed..... i THINK that if i put the files as jpegs on a dvd, then compress them ....that could work?

i'm not sure 

i keep wanting to make the files uniform in kb size but maybe that's getting too fussy?

also do i number each one? use a letter/number code on each painting?

what if i screw it up? can i fix it?

i did ask on the art licensing board but they just directed me back to the websites above...

maybe it really is easy and it just seems complicated to me?

meanwhile...it went up to 60 degrees outside so i let the fire go out, i cleaned the stove yesterday including the glass door ......what a treat to watch the fire dance last night.

i'll clean the ash out again today while i avoid this whole overwhelming copyright thing...

and that's just the tip of the muddle right now

with this i am also being brought up face to face with some deep seated beliefs and emotions connected to my work.

sounds nuts but there it is

i'm working on the files now....i hope i am doing them right

time will tell i suppose

til next time

vi
