Blog Page Updates
I finally got around to updating my blog pages. I'll be honest with you, I tried to find some child labor (that lives in this house) to do it for me. I thought the pay scale was great.....the first offer was an iTunes gift card. Then I raised it to clothes I don't approve of. Finally, I was even willing to go as high as unnecessary makeup!
She was intrigued, and gave it the usual fifteen to twenty minute try....and then....as usual...something better came along.
I cannot tell a lie...it took all day to figure this out. I watched this video and stumbled along....two or three emails to the support department....more stumbaling... and viola!
If you click on my DIY page
You will see my new favorite quote along with lots of projects.
My Featured page was not difficult, just time consuming.
If you click on that link, you will see this
Speaking of featured, this one makes me laugh. This is a Russian blog that featured my coastal clock tutorial. I had no idea they did this, I just kept seeing all these weird referrals from a link that was not in English.
Another technical update that I could not figure out was authenticating my Pinterest account. Have you seen that? Pinterest wants you to verify your web address. Well, after five or six failed attempts, I noticed that Elizabeth's Pinterest account was verified. So I emailed her and she helped me. Thanks Girl!
***Update - This is the video I used to verify my Pinterest account***
Do you have any blog improvement tips that you have found helpful?

Looks great Linda! I have many things I want to do to my blog page too. I hadn't thought of using bribery to get it done, that's a trick I will have to try! Please share the deets of authenticating your Pinterest page, I too have tried countless times to no avail.
Nice job! I use child labor too but I just pay cash otherwise the negotiations get bogged down.
Can you copy me those tips for a verified Pinterest page? I had trouble too.
AWESOME! good job. I love your pages, and how easy it is to navigate your site. Gotta work through a blogger bug Ive got- I hate technical difficulties!

Oh gosh!! But you did it! Its so hard to figure so many of these things out. I'm going to have to do some similar updates during the holidays so now I know you may be able to help!!
I'm going to hire someone (not the teenager living at my house)! :)
OMG, you have really done some homework and shared it to boot! I love you like some serious Jamaican cooked food! Hooray to Elizabeth too for sharing that Pinterest ish because that one has had me stumped for a hot minute. Hooray, hooray, hooray. p.s. Happy Monday!
Love the new page, now I can find all your awesome projects so easy- perfection!
Well your hard work paid off - your new page looks amazing. I love that quote - must remember it when I'm having a technical problem!

thank you for that video on how to verify my pinterest account!!!! i have had a struggle trying to do this!!!!
Always happy to help you out my dear. And thanks for making me feel lazy. Updates to my site have been on my 'list' forever. Maybe I'll wait until it snows, yeah, that's my plan. :)
Well Look at you Fancy! Testing 123 All buttons working properly. Great job! Looks great! Lord you've been busy. Any chance you'll come to my house and crack the whip I have several DIY projects in various stages of WTF.
I'm embarrassed to say that so much of this stuff is over my head. I feel wildly successful every time I put up a simple blog post. I never even know that pinterest accounts could be or should be verified. Clearly I'm behind on this type of stuff - and it's so important!

Oh Linda, please, please, please enlighten us with how you did that project page. I have attempted it numerous times and then give up in frustration. I had to laugh at your attempts at coercing help. YOu must have a teenager. We try to get the kids to do things with some monetary payoff and they just laugh. Now that my son has a part time job it's impossible.
Way to go!!! Learning to do these web/blog things by yourself can be annoying but SOOOO rewarding. Congrats! It looks beautiful and I'm super happyproud of you.
Thank you so much for the tip on how to verify blog on pinterst. I am so computer illiterate, so that was very helpful. Thanks!
Excellent! Love the upgrade most especially the DIY link! Love your hutch make-over. I better watch that video next so improve my blog as well. Thank you Linda!
You are a trooper! I'm scared to make any changes to my blog as I don't wanna mess anything up. Poor Kerry had to "hold my hand" on my guest blog post at her site....my very first one! :)
Good for you for figuring it all out. It would have taken me forever to do it. It's nice to be able to see all of your accomplishments
Ha! My daughter is exactly the same. I think she figures out after 10 minutes that it could get tedious, she is finished. And whatever cash/bribe I come up with just isn't interesting enough.
Good for you that you've done all this work. Perseverance is an important quality and you have it in spades. So, when will you come to Dallas for a few days and get all of my updates in order??
Your DIY page is so fancy now! It's probably better you wound up doing it yourself it will be easier to make changes in the future. I think if my parents had bribed me like that when I was a teenager, I would have jumped at the chance but they didn't ever do that. Ever.
I have to admit that verifying my blog on Pinterest seemed tedious so I haven't done it yet. :)
This is my first time visiting your blog and I think it looks gorgeous!! I love the header, especially, and what you've recently done look great too. Heck, I would have done it for some unapproved clothes, lol.
Looking good! I need to update my Pages too. I have used the InLinkz table maker but struggled with it too!
You make me feel like a go to school on the short bus...I have to pay for this kind of bling on my blog...:)
