Revamp Update ~ Prefab Blog Buttons

Just popping in to announce that the new prefab Blog Button page is now live.  The direct link for that is: http://www.prl-images.com/blog_buttons.html

If you are currently using any of my prefab sidebar buttons for holidays, comments, or inspirational messages you'll want to switch those out for the new codes before the old ones disappear.

This is in follow up to my earlier posting, The Bucket.  I'll pop back in just as soon as I have more updates to share.

Revamp Update - Post Dividers

In follow up to my posting, The Bucket, I've begun building my new website. Saying it's a monumentally overwhelming task is definitely an understatement but the good news is I'm making progress.  I have the first few pages up and the one which matters most at this is the list of prefab Post Dividers.  Here is the new direct link to that page where you can find updated image codes: http://www.prl-images.com/post_dividers.html  If you're using one of my prefab post dividers now is the time to switch out for the new link before the old ones disappear.

I will continue to post updates as they happen ~ both here and on my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/plumroselane), although the FB posting happen a little sooner since they're quicker to post.

Best,

What's Your Rating??

Ok, this is really cool! My husband was listening to a marketing class the other night and stumbled upon this website that analyzes your site. It uses algorithms and links and whatnots and... oh, it could have been little trolls on bikes for all I cared...

The point is you visit http://www.websitegrader.com, type in your website (or blog) and voila! you get an instant grade on your page ~ how it ranks with other sites, how well it's laid out, how many visitors and links you have, etc., etc...

It's a really fabulous tool because it not only helps you see how your site ranks but it also helps you improve your grade ~ case in point... I was missing a bunch of meta tags, who knew?? So I popped a few in using another nifty site (www.bloggertricks.com) and cha-ching ~ my grade went up a point, woohoo!

Personally the timing couldn't be better, what with the new corners my little business is turning ~ offering Sponsors and other fabulous goodies I'll be announcing shortly ~ and I couldn't be happier with that grade of 97%! *thud* Yep... that was me hitting the floor when I first saw it, but... I really started doin' the happy dance when I saw that my Alexa rank was in the top 6.37% of all websites ~ holly molly!!

So, give it a go, see what your own business, blog, or website comes up with and remember, you can always increase your score by improving little tweeks here and there. The most important thing is... have fun!

Enjoy~

Whistle While You Work

Just wanted to pop-in to say I'm happy to be back! My new power supply is in place and all seems to be right with my computer. I'm super busy at the moment working on a website I maintain for our local arts council. It's entering their busy season and so with a pending format change and loads of additions, the MJ Art Festival website has been taking most of my attention the past few weeks.

I'm looking forward to getting back to creating some new themes for all of you as it's such an enjoyable pastime for me and I love sharing. Plus there are always so many ideas floating around in my imagination so it's nice to set one free when I can.

Thank you so much to my friends, customers and visitors for your patience while I've been away and I'll see you soon.

Sharon
