A real post at last

Thank you all very much for bearing with me yesterday, and with Jennifer more importantly, as we gave Quilt Station a much needed new operating framework.

It was quite an overhaul and, even though the changes may look only cosmetic, what I have now is a website that will grow with me.

I’m so pleased and relieved about that.

It was a busy day and a half, but we both worked late into the night and I’m not ready to tally up what it really took, suffice to say we’re both a little tired.

There is still some tweaking to do, some of it minor ~ some of it more time consuming, but I think we have done all the things that were up the top of the priority list.

I really want to apologise wholeheartedly to those of you who were flooded ~ monsooned even, with emails about posts, pages, pings and goodness knows what else, I’m very embarrassed.  We were so sure we had disabled notifications on all the pages.  And thank you to everyone who wrote to let me know that things were amiss and where it wasn’t working.

It’s good to have the feedback so promptly, Jennifer was straight on to it where possible.

I’m very grateful to all of you who subscribe to the posts, it’s really rewarding to know that you follow along and stay long enough to look at what I’m working on.   Jenn has asked me to tell you though that if you’ve saved your emails with notifications for posts that look like this

http://www.quiltstation.com.au/1658

with numbers after the /

they won’t go anywhere anymore, you’ll get an error page.

If everything works the way it should when I hit publish, your email notifications will have for instance

http://www.quiltstation.com.au/red-white-pine-trees-quilt

or whatever the title of the post is.

 There’s a reason I’m plopping in pretty photo’s and it’s this.

I’m trying to sweeten you up because I’ve got something I’d like you to do for me.

If you are one of those fabulous bloggers or websites who link to me, and I know there are lots of you…

… I would be really grateful if you could change the link to me from http://www.quiltstation.com.au/

to

http://www.quiltstation.com.au/mewsings

That way the link will send visitors to this, the blog page, and not just the home page.

Not that I’m not proud of the home page, I love it.

But visitors might get bored after the first couple of times.

I haven’t become bored with the Home page yet, I keep gazing at that slide show of quilts and thinking, “by golly we’re clever”. LOL

Jenn and I tore around yesterday afternoon for an impromptu photo shoot, up ladders (me) and wiping tables (Jenn).  We’re pretty chuffed with the results.

Getting back to Mewsings, it’s a play on my name I’ve tried to use for a while now, you might remember it in my blog title by-line way back.  I never could get it in a sentence the way I wanted but I’m hoping it’s going to work here.

My intention for Mewsings this year is that I will post more often, but less long.

And what do I do!  Start with an enormously long post ~  but this one is an exception I think.

I’m going to try to stick to only one topic or quilt per post.

Pull me up if I start getting off track won’t you.

til soon
