What do you think of the new site?  Take some time to look around.  We're still unpacking some things and moving things around but it was close enough...so we launched!

Some things you'll want to take note of:

1.  I've got some new buttons in my sidebar.  I will eventually move these to their own page.  In the meantime, grab your buttons!  In the works: buttons for craft challenge participants and winners!

2.  I'm now accepting applications for contributors.  Do you have some crafty expertise you'd like to share on a regular basis?  Let me know you're interested by filling out the application under the "Be A Contributor" tab.  I am also accepting more guest blog posts if you'd like to contribute from time to time.

3.  Speaking of those tabs, did you notice that some of them have drop down menus?  I'm hoping this will make it easier to find things on my site.  I'll be filling these in as fast as I can.  I'm only about 1/8th through my previous posts in getting them categorized.  There are also some drop downs on the top menu as well.  Under the "About" tab you will find my policies and press pages.

4.  I have less space for advertising.  I am limiting advertising at this time to 4 buttons, one small banner, and the Chic Chick Media widget.  I want to have that space available to promote other sites and businesses but I don't want it to take over the point of this blog, which is promoting crafting.

5.  See that floating contact button on the left?  You can send me an email using that form.  See that subscription box on the right?  You can enter your email and my posts will get delivered right to your inbox.

6. See those little boxes below this post?  You can click on those to share your favorite posts on other sites.  Think your facebook friends would like to know how to make a pinata?  Click on the facebook button and it will show up in your status update.  Fancy, eh?  There is a button for twitter, email, stumbleupon, etc...

What do you think?   Have any comments or suggestions?  I'd love to hear them!
