Holidays are a good time for some blog housekeeping (cue brilliant comic from Fowl Language Comics…)
I’ve recently created a few blog pages to keep my blog content organized and make posts easy for visitors to find (I hope!).
Now under Sweet’s Cakes on the top menu (see screen-grab below) you’ll find:
- A new Recipes Index. I’ve listed all my recipes in alphabetical order under headings such “Cakes” and “Biscuits/Cookies”. Creating this page was also a great excuse to use this cute cupcake clipart:
- Baking. The archive of all my baking posts, appearing in reverse chronological order.
And then under Reading (see screen-grab below):
- Reviews A-Z. A index of all my book reviews, listed alphabetically by author surname.
- Review Policy/Disclaimer. Now I’ve started to receive books from publishers via NetGalley I wanted write a couple of short paragraphs about this. If any seasoned book bloggers think this could be better or there’s anything crucial I’ve missed, please let me know 🙂
- Ratings System. I realized I hadn’t explained how I rate books! Although, it’s not much different from the Goodreads system…
I hope these changes go a little way to making Art and Soul a little more user-friendly!
Have you made any changes to your blog recently? Is there anything else I could do to make getting around my blog easier? Let me know in the comments! 🙂
Hi Claire,
Love the changes you have made. You have got me thinking about disclaimers and explaining my rating system too. I haven’t done either.
Hope your having a nice Christmas xx

Thank you!
It’s still all a bit of a work in progress… I think at some point I should list my reviews by genre too.
I hope you’re enjoying the holidays too and have a Happy New Year! 🙂 xx

I love the cupcake images!! I made a few changes myself recently, something about starting a new yer made me want to do a makeover. I took a new job recently with more normal hours and weekends off, so I want to get back into baking more. I’ll be using your blog because you make the cutest things!

Great changes! I love adding pages, and every time we have a Bloggiesta event, one of the tasks suggested is adding pages. Enjoy!
