Testing

Jim, I have only spent about an hour on it--still trying to re-learn my way around it. I welcome your input!

it already looks sooo much better Mary - i gave you admin power so you can do anything you feel will help drive business. please advise me as to what i should link and should not be linking if you see things that others will view as too self serving. Zoey has an accent thingy over the e like this Zoëy Bloom but some feel that search engines do not read that well so i never know what to do.

We are IN the carriage trade Shopping center here in Tampa but this amounts to a strip center so it is not all that significant ... BUT if it makes it sound better let's run with it.

Another thing you should know is that we are in the process of re-doing our Web site to make it more SEO friendly. We will still be www.zoeybloom.net but all of the links to specific items will go away.

Hey, you had a very successful blog so I am deferring all of this to you if you do not mind. I will heed your advise and please don't be afraid to give it! Remember what our store looks like , and what our web site looks like and keep that in mind with your style.

Do you know about Twitter and how i should be using it?

Love you sis - thanks so much for helping me here!

Jim, I have done several searches for Zoey Bloom with and without the accent and both time the same articles/links show up. So that is good news as far as SEO goes.

Although I do have admin power, it will only allow me to post, not edit the layout. So I thought I would try things out here for you to see and like/dislike and then we will work out how to make the changes on your blog. We could temporarily change the password if need be until the changes are complete.

Yes, I did have a successful blog, but keep in mind the best way to bring new traffic to your site is to visit other sites that you like on blogger and leave comments, and link to them. It is hard work, but it does tend to have a "crawling" effect and before you know you have a loyal following.

I am not real familiar with Twitter. I have checked Zoey's out, and it looks good to me. Remember to follow as many people as you can so your name will be seen!

I will be on the lookout for a more feminine, pinkish feel for the blog. This is the first one I found that was semi-suitable.

I love you too, Jim. I am more than happy to help!
