Wednesday
READ THIS: Please click 'Continue Reading' to read ALL of my update - the majority of it is in the 'Continue' portion, I am trying to keep this section small so you don't have to scroll up and down like you used to...
I'm still getting used to this new blogger thing, but I think for the most part it's working out ok..I enjoy seeing your comments, but of course private email is always welcome, so don't be a stranger!
I realize I didn't tell ya'll the results of the 'what one thing would you change' poll was...Most folks said "don't change anything" which is nice, I'm glad you enjoy the site as is...I did get some suggestions that I thought were great, though...
One suggestion was to have a page of Paired beads - for earrings. I've seen that on other sites and just never thought about it again, but its a great idea and I plan on getting one made...look for that as soon as I get some pairs of beads made..
Someone else suggested I offer individual beads...not so much focals, but just one or two of my beads from a set. Would you pay $6 or $7 for a bead plus shipping? Have you seen any individual beads you wished you owned? I was intrigued by this idea - its not a bad idea, I just assumed no one would want to buy a bead by itself...more feedback please...
Another idea was to offer Pickings in the evening so folks who can't hit the computer during the day would have a chance to get in on the fun after 5:00. I like this idea and plan on implementing it too.. I think I'll announce when the Evening Picking will be, though, so everyone has a chance to get used to it. I probably will do it 1x a week unless its something everyone says they'd prefer...I do list my eBay auctions in the evenings so ya'll can be home to bid/win them...would you prefer all my Pickings be in the evenings as well? I like doing them in the morning, but would be happy to do one 1x weekly...
I've also optimized my photos for folks who said the site takes too long to download...I've been on a cable modem or T1 line for at least 7 or 8 years now, so I'm so used to a fast connection I don't even consider folks using dialups anylonger....Is loadtime a problem? I'm not wild about the pixelization of the pics when optimzied to 256K. i prefer a smooth photo...lemme know what you think about that decision...
Lots of new pickings and a new eBay set today...still haveta shoot pics, and do the HTML thing, so gimme a little while...Spring colors, purples, blues, flowers...if you're not into that, then time to order something from my site instead. Ha...didn't see that coming, didja?

Donna,
I agree that you don't need to change a thing on your website. You have the most rockin' website and beads around. If only I could keep up with you :)
