Proud Mother of a United States Marine Shirt

June 20th, 2009

Being a Blue Star Mom means I hang with all the moms of our Armed Forces. I respect each one the same and know I can share my worries, excitement and more with them. I know quite a few of them read my blog and I told them I’d share when I got this made…so here it is. The first of many Marines shirts….

the Proud Marine Mom shirt!

This is made and available on my Zazzle store. I think they are having a special this month too…no shipping charges for June. That’s a pretty cool deal I might take advantage of myself. :)

What I’m working on lately….

April 27th, 2009

I’ve been working on some big projects lately and I’m so excited about where they are going.  I have to admit I was getting a bit scared that the economy was going to effect my business so much I’d have to go get a second job to get through it all (there is no quitting, but supplementing with a job at Starbucks was a very real possiblity!)

I just wanted to pop in and tell you…if it’s tough out there…have faith! I see signs that this slump is turning around, things are going to get better.

Sometimes you just have to do what works

April 7th, 2009

I kept trying to keep my site simple and the code clean…but you know what? Sometimes that means keeping it from functioning to it’s greatest ability.

I evaluated the site and decided it was time to just give in and make it a Wordpress based site. Why would I do that? Well, I already created a custom Wordpress template that works just fine. Why waste time making something new? Wordpress allows you to designated a page other than the one with the blog loop on it to be your “front page”. I haven’t decided if I will make the portfolio the main page or just keep my loop in front. I think there are traffic benefits to having your blog loop on the index page. I am going to research that and let you know. If anyone else has any experience with testing traffic on such a setup (a page other than the blog loop on the front page) then please feel free to share your thoughts here.

I’m still adding portfolio items. That will be a never ending process I think. The old set up made it hard to add each item, but now I can just add it really quick and keep my site up to date. That is the most important thing to me right now, keeping it all up to date.

I’m not thrilled with the rotating thumbnails plugin (NextGEN widget) in the sidebar. I want to find out how to make the images link to the gallery they belong in. Linking to their full size image isn’t working for me. Suggestions would be more than welcome!

:)
