Welcome to the new and improved White Lace Cottage!
Thrilled to see this come together.
As much as I liked the way the blog looked before, I wanted a cleaner look.
I also wanted my site to be easier to navigate.
Lesley from Chaotically Creative/Launch Girls designed my new blog header and set up my new blog theme.
She was wonderful to work with and listened to what I wanted to do.
We both talked and set up a plan on how we wanted to create my new look.
I needed to start branding myself and the way my blog looked before was no longer working.
It was time to bring this site up a notch.
Besides my blog changing I have some other changes going on that I cannot wait to share!
As I said I was looking for a cleaner look on my site, and easier to navigate.
Yes I still have ads and that cannot change as it’s part of my income.
Are you ready to take a White Lace Cottage blog tour?
This is a screen shot of my homepage.
At the top of my homepage, you can add your email address and have White Lace Cottage delivered to your email.
I am going to add some special perks for subscribers only so you will want to make sure and sign up if you haven’t already.
I made it much easier to contact me if you have a question.
Just click on the contact tab a the top of my page and it will bring you to my contact page with my email address.
When you scroll down on my homepage you will see this.
When you click on any of these tabs it will bring you to a new page.
If you want to read about me then click on about.
If you want to read the blog, click on blog.
And if you want to shop click on the shop tab.
Let’s go to my about page.
Once you are on this page you can read all about me, but from this page you can still access my social media buttons and although you can’t see it in this photo, you can still access my tabs at the top to get back to reading my blog, or to visit the shop.
Here is my blog page.
On my blog page you will see many of my recent posts.
And again I made it easy to pin and access my social media buttons if you feel so inclined to share.
I hope you do!
My shop has not changed just yet.
But if you click on the shop button you will be taken to my shop.
In the next couple of weeks my shop will be added directly onto my site.
That will make it much easier to access and shop, and you won’t have to leave this site!
I have some exciting news to share about my shop.
I can’t wait to tell you all, but I need to wait a little longer … details are still getting worked out.
Please let me know what you think about my new blog design.
I had you all in mind when I did this.
I know it can be very confusing at times trying to navigate.
I have been to other sites and many times I leave because I don’t know where the pin button is, how to follow, where to leave a comment..etc.
I really hope you like the new set up.

Wonderful redesign – very simple to navigate. I also leave blogs when I am unable to find specific tabs. I am amazed at the number of bloggers who make it difficult to find their shops – what is up with that? Anyway – love your new look, looking forward to reading about the shop news.
