Amazon | All is Well

I really like the subtle changes Amazon has made in their design. It’s a fresh look, clean and easy to navigate. You can check it out HERE.

I never want this blog to become a bastion for advertisements of all sorts of products–that is not my intent at all. My vision for this blog is to write out my honest thoughts and hopefully give my readers something to think about.

That said, I am an affiliate of Amazon. There is a link to the right that will take you to the Amazon site. Anything you purchase through that link, will go to help support my blog. I think I get 1-2% kickback from Amazon.

So, please, if you are making purchases at Amazon.com, I would truly appreciate it if you did so through the link on my page. Every little bit helps, and I’m hoping to continue to expand and design this website to be as helpful, interesting and challenging as possible for my readership.

I am grateful for each and every person who reads my blog. You are loved by me.

I love New Year’s Day. I imagine it is because I always approach it with high expectations and resolutions.

This blog has become an important piece of who I am and what I do. I think through writing. When I am unable to express myself through writing, I find myself frustrated and disoriented. But when I get a chance to sit down and put my thoughts on paper, it helps me to settle. It helps me to make sense of the chaos in my mind. It helps me to breathe.

So tonight I’ve spent some time getting my blog ready for 2012. I’ve done some changing of page titles and added content on those pages. Also, if you will look at the sidebar and scroll down, you’ll see I’ve made some changes there as well. First, that obnoxiously long categories list is now in a drop down menu, allowing me more space for widgets and things that are important to me.

Secondly, I’ve added a feature called “I am reading”, which displays a picture of the book I am currently reading and what page I am on. THAT’s a nerdy thing to do!! If you click on the book, it will take you to that book on Amazon.

I’ve added a few other things on the sidebar that you can explore. I don’t know why my “Recent Tweets” feature is not working. I’m still working on it.

The last thing is that I’ve added a “See Related Posts” feature that will be at the end of each post. It will list previous posts that are related to the current post. Very cool.

I have much more to say about New Year’s, which I will be doing over the next couple of days. I welcome any and all feedback on this little slice of the blogosphere. 🙂
