    Introducing a New Section on Making it Lovely: The Filing Cabinet

    I am so jazzed. I have a whole new section to introduce to you today! I’m calling it The Filing Cabinet, because that’s where I’ll be filing away all kinds of extra goodies for you.

    I have been working away, tweaking the design and making sure all of the technical details were taken care of. PHP and I have become good friends this week and I am happier than ever with all of the customization made possible by running WordPress. You may have noticed that the sidebar has changed. Check out the new features:

    And when you’re actually in The Filing Cabinet the sidebar will show you images from the latest three posts on the main section of Making it Lovely. It’s all very fancy.

    Here’s what the new section actually looks like. (And if it doesn’t look like this for you, let me know so that I can crawl into a corner and weep fix it. I’ve just finished coding this mere hours ago, so there may be a few bugs.)

    I mean, really. The filing cabinet opens and everything. Is that not the neatest feature? Am I a little too dorky to be as excited as I am about it? (Probably.)

    So what can you expect to find amongst the files? A little bit of everything and anything that catches my fancy. Furniture. Lighting. Fonts that set my hear aflutter. And you can quickly see what’s in each file at a glance. Here’s a peek at the ‘S’ for Shoes file.

    Head on over and check it out. There are already about ten pages of goodies to look through, and I’ll be adding more all the time. The new posts can only be seen in The Filing Cabinet, and you can subscribe separately to that feed to have new entries delivered right to your feed reader or inbox. Yay!

  • The Wish List

    The Wish List

    Have you checked out the wish list page recently? There are lots of goodies over there.

    I keep going back and forth with the idea of upgrading the wish list section of the blog. It’s not really a wish list (I really don’t need all of those things)… it’s more of an “I like it” list. Would you like me to make full blog posts out of them? I feel like there are so many bloggers that just post pretty things, and you probably don’t need me adding to that. I considered starting a tumblr for this purpose, or perhaps starting a new subsection here that you could read and subscribe to separately. I just have so little time I haven’t been able to work on it! What do you think? Would you like to see the wish list items make it into their own posts, or do you like things as they are now?
