New Stuff

I don't know exactly how my blogs appears to you, but when I visit the page the public sees, there is a toolbar across the top with a button that says 'next blog'. Sometimes I click it just to see what comes up. I used to get general diary type of blogs. Now I get genealogy/historic sites blogs. I assume it's because of my sign- blogger must think anyone with a county sign on their blog is writing about history. I don't really want to change my picture, but I don't like being lumped with the fuddyduddy blogs. Did anyone even read my posts before tossing me over in the dim and boring corner of cyberspace? No wonder I don't get much traffic. I thought about tossing a witch hat over the corner of the sign or maybe placing a bubbling cauldron in front of the signpost. I've got to fix that somehow.

I've added another page 'Tarot & Cards' Every day I'll draw one card from one of my many decks, then post the meaning and name of the deck. The page is called 'Tarot & Cards' because some of my decks are just regular playing cards and not designed for fortune telling per se. I read them anyway.

Starting Friday, I'll run a week long feature of one item from my Etsy shop and a coupon code. This is how I will promote my shop while over-hauling it. I decided I needed better photos, but re-photographing most of the items seems like a major pain. I think I can manage weekly chunks of improvement. Oh, and the coupon code applies to anything in my shop, not just the featured item. As usual, I am open to price adjustments and trade, just convo me thru Etsy.

When I added my owl, I noticed a slide show feature. I decided this would be a great way to show off my dogs, my garden, and maybe sewing projects in progress. I haven't decided where to put it. I may need to rethink my blog's design.

Stay tuned.
