Making Nuts about Needlepoint More Useful

January 19, 2010

It’s time for me to make some changes in the blog to make it more useful to you as a stitcher. Much as I love this layout, it’s very hard to find things, now that there are over 1,000 posts on it.

Something really great and relevant might have been posted two years ago and you will give up before you find it. I know, because I do myself.

So I’m taking a big step this week and changing the blog to what’s called a “magazine” format. To see what I mean take a look at my friend Annette’s blog, Wine Muse. A main article is highlighted, recent articles are shown and related content from elsewhere is seen. Categories are easy to navigate as well.

It may take me a bit to find a theme that works and it will also take me some time to get used to working with it, so I’d love it if you were patient with me.

But you can help me too, if there is something you like or don’t like about a layout, or something you’d love to have, add a comment or email me (napaneedlepoint [at] gmail [dot] com – make the usual changes) and let me know.

    Janet, good move. Some bloggers will have an index page, where all articles are organized alphabetically. Look at Strobist for example, in the sidebar there’s a link to Index.

    What an undertaking! You inspire me, and I wish you well. I struggle with trying to keep info I’ve downloaded or documents I’ve written filed so that I can find them when I need to. Thanks for always being informative and interesting!

    Hi Janet – yes, I agree, an undertaking. You will have a lot of flexibility with this new format (I checked the wine blog and that is very professional). Color is always welcome. Whatever your format I’ll check the blog daily. thanks!!!!
