chickenscratch Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I have spent yesterday and today updating my blog to make it more user friendly and easy to read.

ANy suggestions for improvements would be gladly accepted. sweettsquilting.blogspot.com Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlsa3 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi Teresa Hope you don't mind a newcomer commenting on your blog. I like it. Very nice layout...easy to read...easy to follow....easy to go from diary to gallery and then to prices. Pictures of your customer quilts are great. The one thing I would change (and this is a personal preference) is the font for your diary and gallery...You used some type of script for those and then in your "prices" you used a block style...to me the block style is much easier to read. Again, that's a personal opinion. Either way the blog is great with great info. Really impressive. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaC Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Teresa, I am no blog expert but I think it is great! Good Job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Wight Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I agree with David about the fonts. I like easy to read Arial or times. If I visit blogs that are challenging to read, I don't spend too much time there and may not visit again. On your "prices and details" page--the next to last paragraph, it would be more user friendly to have your e-mail contact as a hyper link. As it is, to contact you, I would have to cut and paste your e-mail into my email program. Other than that, I think it looks very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks. I made those changes. Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlsa3 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 To me it's now almost perfect...the only thing is that if when I read it, it would automatically make me the quilter you are I would be in heaven. LOL David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Thank you David. That is the nicest thing anybody has ever said to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Tree Tami Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 It's very colorful and easy to read Teresa. The only thing I'd add is perhaps a picture of you next to your machine ... of course that's only if you want that out there. But it's always nice to see the smiling face to go along with the stories. I loved the post about your granddaughters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlnewell Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I too like your blog, especially the colored quilt frame. I too agree with the comments about changing the font. I prefer arial, tahoma, or times also. If you lived in Oklahoma, you would definitely get referrals from me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Teresa, I just spent far too much time on your blog. Loved it. I love the social talking you do, like the post about your grand daughters.. so nice and comfy. Your work is outstanding and I'd love to see you reach for a juried show.. your work is well worth it.

chickenscratch Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm asking again for folks to take a look at my blog and see what I can do to make it better. I really love Judi Madsen's Green Fairy Quilts page, but I found out it is professionally created for her. I can't afford to do that right now, so I am going to try to make mine better. The blog and my facebook page have been my primary way of getting new customers lately. Thanks in advance for your suggestions and comments. Y'all are the best!

JaniceC Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi Teresa, I like your comments and stories. Is there a way to add a banner or scrolling banner (dont know if that is the correct term) across the top, so that there is some 'eye candy' before reading the words? I know you have some photos in the actual blog posts, but I wonder if a bit more overall color might jazz it us a bit. If your customers allow you to, I think I would also post more (bigger) pictures of the quilts you do for them. That would be a great way for potential customers to see your work. Just a few thoughts, Janice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Thanks Janice. I have to figure out how it works a little more. I'm not very technology savvy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
