I am, if nothing else, easily confused and a bit lazy.
It’s an awesome combination particularly when it comes to trying to figure out the programming of my blog. I tend to start, become frustrated and that quickly leads to napping.
Hence, my blog has been woefully out of date and not particularly user friendly.
So, I spent a portion of my weekend trying to do a little house cleaning.
At some point I want to call in a pro and really do an overhaul but for the moment it’s just me taking baby steps (between naps)
First up – I had to revise my Blog Roll. I have come across, interacted with and been inspired by so many terrific bloggers over the last year or so and it’s criminal that I haven’t added them to my list.
From Susan at Maple and Magnolia – who never fails to inspire (or at least make me extremely jealous… it can go either way…..seriously, how big is that house?!)
to Julie at Follow Your Heart Woodworking who creates beautiful pieces always makes me want to be a better, more patient wood worker (this will never happen)
to KariAnne at Thistlewood Farm who never fails to crack me up while simultaneously making me wonder what her neighbors think.
And there are lots more all worth checking out if you haven’t already.
I have also been fortunate to be featured in several places and though I always had the featured page it was in need of a refresh as well as I am so appreciative of those folks who have liked my work.
Speaking of my work I’ve also added a page for my Etsy shop because…..I can’t get the dang widget to work that’s supposed to show that in my sidebar.
And finally, because I’m bad with the tags and didn’t really think it through before I started this endeavor – I’ve added a Tutorial page so, if you’d like, you can find all the various tutorials I’ve done all in one place.
I hope everyone has a terrific Labor Day.
I will now go nap………
You are without a doubt a man after my own heart! I prefer napping to learning how to make my blog better, but yours looks terrific, so I assume the naps aren’t as frequent as you are letting on! Thanks for always making me smile.
Wow, I am thrilled to be included on your blogroll! Your blog is perfect, especially the humour (spelled with a “u” because I am Canadian and that’s how we do it here). I am quite humourous in real life, but I can’t seem to write my blog that way, so I LOVE to read yours, it’s the best. Don’t change that! Of course your creations are fabulous too, every last one of them. (If you ever want to visit the Shaw Festival, I’d love to go with you… just let me know!)
Naps are good things!
As one whom is quite fond of a ‘snoozums’, I wholeheartedly agree with the nap thing. And as for blog face-lifts – been trying to add those follow me buttons, but it’s all too high tech for me. I shall have to engage the services of a professional, or an 8 year old to do it for me:-)
