Blog under construction!

As if you have not noticed, my blog is still under construction. Please bear with me as I make some changes to hopefully provide you information easier and quicker. The blog might "suffer" some cosmetic blemishes during this transition as I am trying to do this ALL on my own, and I gotta say I barely passed my programming courses(and this is FAR from C++).
Anyway, I need a little feedback again from my readers. Is the blog loading faster on your phones? Is the text readable with the new white background now? Are there features that still seem off?
I still need to move some of the "extras" around and work on my header and tabs but can you at least see my posts clearly (since my posts are the MOST important information you as a reader need to see!)

Any input would be great. Also Anon that commmented on me adding a coupon database, I am looking into it and hope to offer one in the near future, trouble is all those pesky regional differences make it tough.

So..... stay tuned tonight because I am going to be posting some GREAT deals you can pick up at Walgreens and Randalls before I go to bed tonight. (gotta put kiddos down for bed first though)

Hey,

The instance i reach on you page, your baby's picture is only halfway visible. Is there anyway you can have the whole picture and the latest deal up on the page, without having to scroll.

Or you can upload a horizontal picture instead of a vertical one.

P.S.: please don't mind, i love the picture. Was it taken at kroger? the tags look familiar :)

It is looking good. It load much faster on my laptop. I just checked my phone and it loads super fast. Much faster than before and it more readable on my Droid. Keep up the good work!

Am excited! Your blog background is different when I view it on my iPhone; for some reason it is very dark and difficult to read. The other day (yesterday?) it lightened and today is white (not sure how it looks on desktop). I don't know much about stuff like this either. Thanks for all you do!!

I love it!! I think it looks very professional. Your page is uploading faster now. I agree with Shuchi regarding the picture. If you could somehow make it horizontal that would be great. Think your blog is one of the best actual savings out there and it's new face lift makes it even better.

LOVE your postings. Thank you so much for your hard work. Until today, all I could see on my IPhone was a dark navy background with black lettering. Gave up trying to sneak peeks while at work. Now it looks awesome. I LOVE seeing your daugher's photo when the page first shows on the screen. Mercedes V.

Thanks for all the constructive input!
I am working on the pic, I promise! I can't fully get rid of the pic for 2 reasons:
1. my "superman" identity in couponing became Zoeys_mom from the start and this is my way to even the score(this pic is of my second born, not my namesake)
2. I really like this pic because it is real and TRUE! My mom and I went out coupon shopping "as usual" with the kids and the baby fell asleep right when we got in the store!
And YES it is Kroger
I Have a hard time giving up the pic as it belongs on this blog as much as I belong on this blog! I promise I will find a way to incorporate it, without slowing down my readers from scoring the deals.
I know I am not the most extensive or the best blog on the block, but I know I ROCK at finding those hidden gems you can't get anywhere else.

I encourage you to read LOTS of other blogs, but if you want the "gem of the nile" you will always come back to me, mwhahahaha!
(Ok, really aging myself here and testing my readers!)
Name the 2 actors and the year, (oh but that is too easy, imdb will give you the answers)
Name the yr I graduated HIGH SCHOOL and I will send you some goodies!

I have had such issue leaving a comment. The page takes forever to load & then will only allow me to leave the comment annon.

I have an html for a drop down category list, if you want it. It's very, very simple to input & very helpful to readers.

Hollie, I would love the html code! I can't figure out how to make comments easier and that is on my to do list

Shuchi said...

My guess, you graduated high school in 85 or 86..

katycouponers said...

Shuchi, you are prematurely aging me. My MUCH older sister graduated in 86, but not me ;P

shuchi said...

Sorry bout that. I graduated in 95, going by the age of the kiddos, lets say you did in 96 :)

katycouponers said...

Shuchi, is there a bet you are trying to win by guessing my age? lol
And no, you are wrong again :)
I will give you a hint, ONE of my favorite Johnny Depp movies came out the year I graduated but my number one fav movie of his came out 3 years prior(and what got me hooked on Johnny)
