Some changes

Good morning Friends ~ This morning I came across some tips for making our blogs more visitor friendly. They can be found at Donna's blog Funky Junk Interiors.

So, I thought it was time to make a few changes in my own blog. Some of you will notice that there is no more music. Even though I chose soothing music, having that causes computers to slow way down, and I've read that people won't even visit a blog with music. I know from my own experience that I will hurriedly try to find the playlist so that I can turn it off on some blogs, because the music on their playlist just isn't my thing, and it interrupts reading. I want to thank all of you who have commented on and enjoyed my music selection. I may post a link in my sidebar to the playlist, as a stand alone option, for those of you who may wish to listen to it on your own.

Next, I did away with word verification. Some people will not leave a comment if they see that. My comments will still be moderated, to keep spam and possible offensive comments out of public viewing.

And, the comment section is now at the bottom of the page, not in a separate window or a pop-up window.

Plus, I am going to have links to my own hand crafted pieces for sale in the side bar, as well as for some other fellow artists.

I'm reading up on adding a paypal link to my blog posts that will have items for sale. I've got to take pictures, inventory the pieces too, before I upload them to my blog. I hope to have them up shortly. They will be in my blog ArtistikUs ElastikUs.

I do want this to be a friendly place to visit, not one that makes people turn away before they barely get here or when they want to leave a comment.

Thank you all for visiting and your comments.
