Almost completed...

We are in the final stages of making our website more navigable! Instead of having design pages plus product pages, I have cut out the product pages. When I am finish you will only see the design pages, paper doll pages and the admin pages in PJ's Corner Gift Shoppe.

As you can see in this screen print, I am working on the Travel Memories 'n' Fun page.

New Navigation Bar for www.pjscorner.net...

I created this new navigation bar for the website. I am starting to experience some unstableness in FrontPage 2003. Some of the web components are not working, such as the link bar. Yesterday I was unable to save the changes to our homepage. I could always upload my changes through an FTP service, however after reading that I could have different problems with this line of action, I called Register.com. After talking with the representatives at Register.com, and finding out that FrontPage 2003 is notorious for becoming unstable on websites with more than 80 pages, they uninstalled and reinstalled my FrontPage extensions on their server and was unable to fix the problem. However, Second Level fixed the problem before midnight and I was able to continue with my original plans to downsize the website.

For Profit or Not For Profit...

This post is entered in the BLOG VILLAGE "Much Ado About Money" Carnival hosted by MARSHAMLOW.

This blog is the "blogvoice" for www.pjscorner.net, where you will find in-depth product descriptions, reviews, new product releases, links to product pages, and diary posts of day to day operations of what happens in PJ's Corner Gift Shoppe! Filled with nostalgically handcrafted cards, stationery and paper dolls that help people keep in touch with their family, friends, and acquaintances, PJ's Corner Gift Shoppe is a place that you can bring the whole family.

We do not have a walk-in store, so our home office has been turned into a workshoppe! With paper dolls and greeting cards pasted on the walls, and cut out paper dolls filling the shelves, Mom and I enjoy the uh, quote unquote, solitude of our workshoppe! Because our designs are created with family in mind, using the artwork of our in-house artist: Phyllis Mae Richardson Fisher, you will find flowers, butterflies, animals and nature as a recurring theme. Our gift shoppe is the home of "Twiglet" the Little Christmas Tree, a children's book about discoveries, miracles, and friendships, and "Neddy, the Little Teddy", the first animal paper doll created in PJ's Paper Doll Factory!

If our society wasn't based on money, then we could be a non-profit organization giving our products away. That would be fun though, just being able to create gift boxes, bags 'n' baskets to take to the children's wards! I can see sad little eyes turning bright as a little girl finds a paper doll to cut out or a little boy glowing from the praise he received for his coloring book masterpiece in crayon!

That would be reward or "money" enough for me...in the meantime, we do make several of our coloring book pages available for FREE download. With the changes scheduled for our website, we will be adding a FREE paper doll and featuring our Kid's Coloring Book page in a more prominent place on our website.

Website Under Construction...

Even though our website, www.pjscorner.net, is under construction, you can still buy products in our CafePress Gift Shoppe and order giclee prints of mom's paintings over at Fine Art America.

Effective Blog Marketing For Home Businesses - Make Your Blog Work for You

Happy New Year! This is the year of the "Home Business". Well, it is the year for PJ's Corner Gift Shoppe!

PJ's subscribes to Randy Duermyer's About.com's Home Business newsletter and a link to Blog Marketing in today's article drew my attention!

Effective Blog Marketing For Home Businesses - Make Your Blog Work for You from Sherri Lonon, a guest author for About.com.

While the article has a lot of very valuable information, the sidebar links need investigating as well! The first statement to catch my eye in the article is "In terms of cost, blog marketing is probably the second least expensive form of marketing after word-of-mouth promotion, and the truth is, other than your time, blog marketing can be done for free."

In essence, when you think about it, blog marketing is word-of mouth promotion on the web. And I have been looking for a way to market PJ's Corner Gift Shoppe in a more effective way. In an effort to search and peruse this article without loosing it's link, I utilized "Send to Blogger" from my Google Tool Bar. Automatically, a link was created in a new post and I have a way to keep tabs on this informative article.

We look forward to a successful year, not just for PJ's Corner Gift Shoppe, but for your home business as well.
