Blogging for Resale Shops

    I ordered this product yesterday, and can’t wait to start using the great advice you give, Kate. I am a neanderthal with computers, but you directions are so clear, you give me hope!

      Thanks Nancy. It’s always intimidating trying something new (I get upset when I just have to switch browsers, for heaven’s sake!) but I think the UPside of having one’s branding out there in a blog, to which you lead your social media fans, is well-worth a small learning curve!

      The cool thing, I think, is that a blog is viable from the first time you create it. You can add pages, widgets, and so on, as you get more comfortable. Kinda like we all did with our shops: a few racks here and there, and voila! we have grown into “real” stores!
