Daily upkeep

Day89
I want to share a design I found in one of my fellow shop owner’s stores that really says it all for Easter:
Studio 490

I moved my yoga stuff from my custom section to it’s own section after all. Then while I was on the site I decided to double-check all the descriptions to see if I wanted to change anything. For the first time I noticed that the columns weren’t even! How had I missed that? I realized it was because some of the product labels were longer then others and if the long ones were in the first row it created a gap. SO….I went through all 32 product pages and moved a couple things around per section. Kind of like cleaning out drawers!

One of the other shop owners sent me a link to a great site that had a forum thread about conversion; Webmasters World. I read through that whole thing (really interesting) and ended up joining the site. Something else to keep up on!

I Love Yoga clothing & gift line

Day86
I did the yoga section mostly to take flyers into my yoga classes. I love the look of the design with the products I chose! Since it’s not a “givitup” I ended up sticking them in my custom section. If they do well I might go ahead and put them on the storefront. The colors go – just not the theme.

I wrote for a description, “People who love yoga love to tell others about it. Let online store givitup, start the discussion!”

Late nights

Day85
Sometimes I get sleepy in the afternoon sitting here reading and typing and I think, “I really need to get to bed before midnight tonight!” Especially now that the sun is coming up earlier which always wakes me up – and if I’m awake – I get up!

But, somehow around 10:30 when I post this blog and ping it and check my emails and stats one last time, I find an email I need to answer, or one that leads me to look at something else. Tonight I was also labeling new items in my Custom section (CUTE yoga things! I love them!) and it’s already 12:02 a.m….and I’m not sleepy now!
