A whole bunch of miscellaneous bloggy business stuff

That kind of title just sucks you in, doesn’t it?

(Well, in opposite world, it would.)

Ok. I have a bunch of short things to say, so let’s get started.

1. I reorganized my header links.

They’re a bit less crowded, and I made room for a link to Lisey’s baking blog. Yay!

Some of you have been wondering where the Wednesday Baking tab or the Recipes tab went. I took them down to make room for other stuff, but you’ll be pleased to know that you can find those categories on the right side of my blog in the drop-down categories menu.

And of course, you can always utilize the search feature to find something you’re looking for.

2. If you’re an email subscriber, hitting “Reply” will not post your comment to the blog.

Hitting “Reply” will send your comment just to me. And of course, I don’t mind that. But if you want other people to see your comment too, you’ll need to visit the actual blog.

To do that, just click on the blue post title at the top of the daily email from me, and that’ll take you to my blog, where you can click on the comments link and leave an honest-to-goodness comment.

3. I exist on Twitter and Facebook.

If you happen to want more Kristen than you get here, feel free to follow me on Twitter or like me on Facebook. I don’t promise life-changing content, but I do post more casual, sometimes off-topic thoughts there, and if you want to hear things like that I’m having a bad day, well, those are the places to go.

4. I exist on Pinterest too. (sort of)

I signed up for a Pinterest account (I’m The Frugal Girl there, of course), but I haven’t quite got the hang of it. So, you can follow me, but I’m pretty boring right now.

Mostly because I keep forgetting that I even have Pinterest.

5. You can pin Frugal Girl content.

I added a “Pin It!” button up there at the top of the page to make this easy for you.

6. If you blog on Blogger, you should turn off the Captcha option on your comments.

That’s very bossy of me to say, isn’t it?

Here’s the thing. When I have time, I like to visit the blogs that participate in Food Waste Friday and leave comments, but I gotta tell you, when I have to deal with entering those wonky letters over and over again, it kinda lets the steam out of my sails.

And I am definitely not the only person who feels that way. So, if you want some comment love, make it easy for us to leave comments, pretty please! (Here’s how.)

At least give it a try. If your spam comment count goes through the roof, you can always turn Captcha back on again or find some other method of controlling it.

7. You can subscribe via email to any of the Frugal Girl family blogs.

It’s free, and you’ll get the entirety of the blog post in your inbox every day, not just a teaser (I hate it when I subscribe to a blog and find out that the feed is just a teaser).

You can:

Subscribe to The Frugal Girl

Subscribe to The Frugal Girl 365, my for-fun project where I post a picture each day (the subscribe box is on the right)

Subscribe to Joshua’s 365 (the subscribe box is on the right)

Subscribe to Baking With Lisey (the box is on the right side)

And you can always unsubscribe whenever you want.

8. If you have a question, check out the FAQ page.

It’s just text, so I think I need to pretty it up with some pictures (Kristen adds this to her to-do list), but it does have answers to a lot of the most common questions that I receive.

Also, a lot of you have emailed me with questions about camera equipment.

I have mine listed on my 365 blog, and I also wrote a post about my SLR equipment right here.

Ok! I think that takes care of all the bits and pieces. Back to your regularly scheduled programming tomorrow.
