Cake Decorating Courses

When mind and body align

Last night I was doing a bit of yoga on my Wii and was feeling all pleased with myself and healthy then I had a major light bulb moment.

On Tuesday I made some changes to my site by adding a navigation bar under the header banner, but something about it wasn’t quite right.  It still felt a little messy and disorganised.  Well, like I said I’d just done a bit of yoga and for once wasn’t thinking about the site, and hey presto – I got it!

I’ve split up the navigation, with a lot of help from Derek (hubby), because it was a bit complicated for me to figure out on my own.  Now things like ‘Home’, ‘Blog’ and ‘About’ appear above the header and the real contents of the site appear underneath when you leave the homepage.

I’m well pleased with the navigation now, and a little proud of myself for figuring it out.  Not that I’m resting on my laurels.  Oh no, I’m working on another exciting change, which fingers crossed will be unveiled soon.

Yay, I love it when a plan comes together,

Lindsay

New cupcake favicon

It may not be BIG news, but I have added a cute little cupcake favicon.  It may take time to change for anyone who has visited the site before, but it is there honest.

I do like having a favicon that matches the site.  There was no way I was going to get a whole cake squeezed in, so a cupcake seemed the best alternative.

I’m a total geek,

Lindsay.

PS.  For those of you who may be wondering what a favicon is.  A favicon is the little image that appears next to the websites URL in your browser, and if you have tabs it will also appear there.  See I told you I was a geek.

All featured blogs will now take priority

I have changed the blog directory so that featured blogs are now shown ahead of non-featured blogs.  This is not a huge change, but I think it is an important one.  A featured blog will still be displayed on the home page and at the top of their category page in turn, as normal, but now the rest of the featured blogs will be displayed alphabetically below it, followed by an alphabetical list of non-featured blogs.

If anyone has any thoughts on this change, good or bad, please feel free to comment.

It made my day too!

How great is that, I added “Cooking, Cakes & Children” to the directory yesterday and it earned me a twitter mention from Amy Lane the blog author…

I’m so chuffed that a blog author found their review and liked it.  I believe so much in creating the directory and things like this make all the hard work so worthwhile.
