New Basic listing type in the Cake Decorating Blogs

I have added a new listing type to the cake decorating blog directory, called Basic.  On the category pages, it will appear as a smaller entry and side-by-side beneath Standard and Featured listings.

There are several reasons for this new listing type.  The main one is it enables me to enter blogs I find quicker than before and without having to review them.  I still intend to work through all blogs and write a review, but this means I can add them for others to find much sooner.  There will be more changes to the Basic listing over time, but for now I am busy with other features for the site.

Blog directory updates

It’s all a bit fruity with today’s new entries to the blog directory:

Blog directory updates

Lots of distractions this week, including a new paint package for me to play with.  I could go on and on about the new selection and vector tools, but I shall try to refrain.  I will say that my old paint package (Paint Shop Pro 7) was released in 2000 and so is now 10 years old.  Thanks to the wonders of ebay, it has been replaced with Paint Shop Pro 9, which is only 6 years old!  Still that is an upgrade for me.

Well enough of that and on with the blog directory updates.  Today I have added:

I think 2 will do, I’m off to play with my new paint package now :-)

Blog directory updates

After lots of graphic fun, I’m back to adding blogs to the directory.  Oh yes, there are still plenty more to be added.

So without further ado here are today’s additions:

In other exciting news I have created a graphic to appear on entries for featured blogs, variations can also been seen in other places featured blogs are  displayed.  I think they brighten up the directory no end, and also make the featured blogs look very special.

Hope you like it, as I am rather proud of my shiny star creation.  I do like graphics.

New country buttons in blog directory

Something new has arrived over at the cake decorating blog directory and the blog category pages… new buttons!

Well, I think it is exciting.

Let me explain.  Clicking on the new buttons will take you to a similar directory.  How are they different?  I hear you cry.  Well, each directory contains blogs from either Australia or USA and elsewhere, depending on which one you choose.  Simple really.

Hopefully you will find something new and exiting there.

Enjoy,

Lindsay

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.
