New additions to ChellyWood.com #Blogging #DollClothesPatterns

The Chelly Wood doll (a Spin Master Liv doll that has been re-designed to look like the real doll clothing designer, Chelly Wood) is seated at her desk in her office. The wall of the office is a mottled purple color behind her open laptop. The doll's fingers touch the keyboard which is resting on an extended arm of the desk. Her computer screen shows the ChellyWood.com "Share Your Creations" page with three doll clothes displays under the introductory text. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in the lower left corner of the image.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but my home page has a few new additions.

One day, on my Facebook page, I mentioned that I’d been doing blog posts on “How to Sew Doll Shirt Collars,” and someone said, “Wait, there’s a blog on your website? How do I get to that?”

I guess she only accessed my website from her phone, and for whatever reason, she had never used the circular menu button that’s up in the corner at the top of the page (visible from smaller devices only).

So it occurred to me that there were probably a lot of other people who frequent this website but are unaware that there are several pages to visit from the home page.

Of course, if you access this site from a laptop or desktop computer, you’ll see the whole menu at the top (see arrow):

In this graphic, we see a computer monitor for a desktop computer, displaying the ChellyWood.com website. A turquoise blue arrow points at the menu bar at the top of the page, where we see the buttons that read "home", blog, about the designer, helpful tips and Frequently Asked Questions, privacy policy, and finally, the word "shop" for the shopping guide page. On a desktop monitor, these menu items are clearly visible across the top of the page. There's also a "subscribe" button in the sidebar, so one can subscribe to the Chelly Wood dot com newsletter, which gives you announcements of the weekly blog topics and new patterns being posted.

No matter whether you’re accessing this site from a desktop computer, a cell phone, a tablet, or any other device, you’ve always got the search tool at the top of the page though. So if you wanted to see all my blog posts on, say, my charity work for example, you could just type in the word “charity,” and it would give you all of those blog posts, including the page “About the Designer,” which is one of the menu options.

Here’s an image that takes a closer look at that search tool:

In this computer generated graphic image of a desktop screen, the ChellyWood.com home page is pictured on the computer screen, with a zoom-in cone that enlarges the search tool in the upper right hand corner of the screen. The search tool looks sort of like a magnifying glass.

But to make the menu items even easier for folks who access this site with a cell phone, I’ve now added three new buttons at the bottom of the purple “Home” page.

I’ve always had the “Other” button, which is where you find things like my embroidery tutorial videos, doll shoe patterns, and patterns for crafty items like plush toys and pincushions.

However about a month ago, I added three brand new buttons at the bottom of the “Home” page. These buttons will link you directly to “Sewing Basics,” my blog posts, and a shopping guide:

Here we see the Chelly Wood doll displaying three new computer buttons: a shopping button, a blog button, and a sewing basics button.

So if you’re ever wondering where to buy miniature belt buckles, tiny buttons for Barbie clothes, or how to find the perfect lace for your doll dresses, just hit the “shop” button.

(And by the way, when you do buy something using my “shop” page, this website will get a small commission payment, which helps me keep this website running!)

If you want to follow a series of blog posts, like my doll photography posts or my doll shoes posts, you can click on the “blog” button, and it will take you to those.

And if you’re just learning how to sew and need a few tips on how to sew snaps on fabric, how to use bias tape, or how to do a whipstitch, the “sewing basics” button is just for you!
