At the end of last year I couldn’t seem to get posting until I finally got a new look. Voila! I love this WordPress theme. It’s very versatile and I’ve been very happy with it.
You might have also noted that recently I’ve been tinkering with ads, widgets and the like. I can’t help it. My blog is a way for me to express myself –and not just via my posts!
Anyway, I ended up having some time to do more tinkering while I waited on in-from-out-of-town friends to arrive. Since they took way longer than anticipated, I ended up tinkering the whole day! Holy crumb, did I get stuff done!
So what’s new? Let me tell you!
- Logo/Badge – Now you can display a Haunt Jaunts badge on your site or sidebar! This was a two-part process. Part 1: Creating the logo. Finally got around to doing that. Part 2: Posting the logo with text box for code. Thanks to Susan from fiberdoodles,who left me a slick link as part of her bonus entries during one of my Halloween giveaways, I learned how to do it! If you want to do something too but don’t know how, check out A Heart for Home’s very helpful post. She made it easy!
- Quote – I love this quote. I see it all the time in catalogs on everything. I figured it was perfect for HJ so I found a spot for it! (See it under Logo Exchange Partners.)
- Find Haunted Places Page – This page has been up for a while, but I recently revamped it a bit. There were a couple of inactive links I wanted to remove, plus I wanted to make it more navigable. It’s now what I hope is a handy reference to find haunted places fast!
- HJ Best of Award Winners Page – I decided I didn’t want the winners getting lost in all the other posts. They need to be recognized as the standouts they are! Plus, this list took me a long time and a lot of contemplation to put together. I decided it deserved it’s own page. So…got that done!
- Emporium Page – I added an image, jazzed up the copy a bit…the only thing left to do is tend to the stock. There are products I want to add, some I want to subtract, and categories to revamp. However, updating the page was a start…I have all of 2010 to manage inventory!
- Advertising Info Page – You may have noticed I’ve gotten a bit more aggressive about placing ads on the site. Guilty as charged! However, now I’m going to actively start soliciting advertisers. But before you get big notions that I plan on asking exorbitant fees, check out the “Make Me a Deal” spiel under Option 2.
Oh the mischief I can get into when given a day to tinker!
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
