FramesByDana.com


They say that many successful Internet voyages begin with family and friends. You tell your circle, they tell theirs, they tell theirs and before you know it, you've got a great audience. I'm hoping my blog friends will tell their extended family and friends about FramesByDana.com, which I've just spent 3 days updating. It now has a shopping cart, a wedding section, and a streamlined frames section.

Please tell people about the site. It's what I love doing. And I don't know what better thing you can say about an income stream than that.

If you're wondering why I redid the site this week, between 2 big vacations and while researching our book, it's because I've taken an ad on a local deli's paper placemats. There's 800 placemats, I think, which should last Kugel's Deli about 8 or 9 months. My ad is top and center, so should be very visible. I'm hoping to get real business from that investment. I've known all along that my site gets WONDERFUL SEO (search engine optimization) -- that is, Google loves me. But the lack of constant ordering is because I don't have what you expect at a commerce website: a shopping cart. Well, now I do. So with the site now at over 17,000 page views, I decided to add it and give myself a real chance at this.

I hope you'll help me by simply telling people about the site.

I still have much to add to the site -- a greeting card section, for one -- but I wanted to get what I've been working on the past year (the wedding section) online and also add the shopping cart. So stay tuned for more goodies in the months to come. And make sure to navigate all the pages/sections. There's a handy-dandy nav bar on every page so you don't get lost. Tell me what you think about the new and improved site!

Thanks for any publicity you can toss my way! Or feel free to order something... :-)

Thanks, Amy! If you took pictures during the wedding and would like us to see them (and/or post them on this blog), please send them to us! (Zipped files are dandy.)

Books and binders

My new 1001 Ways to Save Money...and Still Have a Dazzling Wedding book says, "Being organized is the number-one way to save money on your wedding." Good thing Maggie went with me yesterday to Borders to leaf through an entire column of wedding organizers and books. I came home with 2 binder books, which I'll combine soon, and the 1001 Ways book. I'm already digging in to the last, and will take it with me to Maine. Knowing Paul and me and how we "go away," though, I won't get much time to read. We'll be too busy skiing and hiking and exploring. I've got time, I keep telling myself. I've gotten a lot decided in the last week, so I can take some breathers now and then.

If anyone knows of a "crafty things you can do for your wedding" book, lemme know!
