How To Use A Serenity Loom

If you have a serenity loom, consider yourself lucky.  As I was looking for this video I found out that the Serenity Loom is no longer in production.  However, this is a good video for those of us who have one.  I haven't mastered mine yet.  I find it a little awkward.  Maybe this will make it easier.

Changes At SherryCreates

Working Behind The Scenes

I've been really busy lately on the behind the scenes work regarding my webiste.  I moved all my items to a new host and then changed my domain to point to it.  That may not sound very hard, but I only know enough about this stuff to make me dangerous.

My webstore was through Highwire.com to begin with and truthfully I just wasn't seeing the kind of traffic I want and need.  So, someone told me about ArtFire.com  and I decided to make that the new home of SherryCreates.

The Big Move

It took me several days to move my things over, but I like it so much better.  Listing items is going to be so much easier than the site I was using.  It takes a lot of the guess work out of it for me.  Like I said earlier, I only know enough to make me dangergous.  I'm a learn as you go kind of gal. 

The main thing I like is that it analyzes and submits my Google merchant settings for me.  The more I was reading on that, the more confused I got.   I can already tell I'm getting more traffic to my site.  That makes me very happy.

The hardest part for me was trying to get my domain to forward properly.  I could get it to do it kinda sorta, but it was still going to the old mechant site sometimes.  Once I typed in the magic code (to me at least) I think I'm ready to truck right along.

The New Look

I also gave my website a new look.  It's got kind of a kitchy feel to it which I like very much.  I think if feels classy and smart ... like me.  :-) 

The logo is also new and I did it myself at CoolText.com. It didn't cost me anything.  Again, if I can do it anyone can.

Please Stop By

I hope you stop by the new SherryCreates.com.  I would love to hear what you think!

Google Me Confused

I thought it would be a good idea to try a Google Adwords campaign for my website.  I read up on how to place a Google Adwords ad and I followed the instructions.  It ran for one day.

Then I went into reports this morning.

Disapproved!

Google me confused!
