I’ve changed the blog back to the old look, but incorporated it within the site this time. I just found that I liked WordPress better than the software provided by my web hosting service.
I’ve also been doing some thinking on how exactly to use the blog, which is why there haven’t been any new postings. I didn’t want it to be just a ‘commercial’ for new products, books, or events as so many retail blogs are. (I will be discussing such things but not just them. ) I also didn’t want it to just be my random thoughts of the day (as it was turning into). So I took a look at all the blogs I read on a regular basis to determine what it is I like about them, which is:
- interesting & informative articles
- thought-provoking articles
- links to, and discussions on, other blog or website articles
- guest bloggers
- regular features/series of articles
So, starting in May the blog will take on a more structured format with regular features such as
- weekly wrap-up of interesting articles I’ve found on the web
- articles on a featured stone
- series of articles, that I’m calling The Choosing Articles - ones that will guide you in choosing a stone, a pendulum, a reader, a deck and so forth
- series of articles on frequently asked questions - focusing on things I’m asked about a lot, such as how/why I opened the store, what to expect in a reading, how to use various intuitive tools (eg pendulums, cards)
- guest bloggers. I haven’t determined just who these might be yet, but I’m considering local authors, readers & healers. (Leave any suggestions in the comments section.)
I hope you will enjoy the changes! Until next time…….
