I probably should be organizing my home, but instead I'm organizing my blog. I was already pondering how to make old posts (like homeschool tips) easier to find. I was wondering how best to do that, and then the HSB Blogging Basics email arrived in my inbox. Aha!
I added the collapsible/expandable boxes in my sidebar. So, all those little blue boxes with titles open up to show my links. Just click on the + sign and then the links will appear. This lets me keep adding friends to my friends list, and homeschool links to that section, without making the sidebar look so LOOONNGG and cluttered.
I've also added several categories:
I divided "Homeschooling" into two categories: "Homeschool Tips" and "Homeschool Updates". I also just joined the Homeschool Open House Weekly Reporters and will be trying to do weekly updates for that.
I pulled "Memes, Tags, Awards" and "The Simple Woman's Daybook" out of "Miscellaneus Chatter".
I pulled "Motherhood and Parenting" and "Married to my Best Friend" out of "Family Life".
I added "Book Recommendations" to pull out of several different areas.
So, go ahead! Check out the new categories in my sidebar. They're complete!
